No ideas huh?
what about using winsock??

Try this:

Inet1.Execute "http://www.site.com/index.html", "GET"

If that doesn't work, try this:

Inet1.Execute, GET "http://www.site.com/index.html C:\htmfile.html"

Try this:

Private Sub FtpGetFile()

With Inet1
.Protocol = icFTP
.URL = "99.99.99.999"
.UserName = "name"
.Password = "pass"
.RemotePort = "21"
End With

Inet1.Execute , "CD XXX" 'this changes the dir.
DoLoop

Inet1.Execute , "GET file C:\temp\file.txt"
DoLoop

Inet.Execute , "QUIT"
DoLoop

End Sub

Private Sub DoLoop()

Do
DoEvents
Loop While Inet1.Still.Executing

End Sub
