saving to file and opening:


x = INet1.Open(URL)
on error resume next
kill "C:\temp.bmp"
open "C:\temp.bmp" for binary as #1
put #1, , x
close #1

picture1.picture = loadpicture("C:\temp.bmp")
OK, i wanna keep the image for later use:

So, how do i split the filename off of the URL?

http://MyServer.com/MyDirectory/filename.gif
http://MyServer.com/MyDirectory/filename.jpg
http://MyServer.com/MyDirectory/filename.jpeg

ETC...

And If i do,

loadimage(Pathname)

Will it produce an error if the file doesnt exsist?, so i know i have to download the image, or?

Tnx
