how to download and save a gif file?

[Paul282]

Like I said, with a byte array...

Private Sub GetGif()

    Dim GifBytes() As Byte
    
    GifBytes = Inet1.OpenURL("Http://www.gif.com/gif.gif", icByteArray)
    Open "C:\Temp\gif.gif" For Binary As #1
    Put #1, , GifBytes()
    Close #1

End Sub

see, simple!. It's all in the MSDN help files under OpenUrl
