how can i get the path of a downloaded file?

[jojys]

Hi,

I have a vb application. In one of the forms i have put a web browser control. This will be used to download my database file from the server using ...browser.navigate "myserver/mydb/mydb.mdb". This will open the save dialog box and start downloading the mdb file from the server.

Now how can my application know the path specified by the user to save the mdb file, so that the application can pick up data from this downloaded file for further processing ????????

Somebody pls help !!!!!!!!!!

What about the FileName Function, does that work?

Dim path as String
path =cmdlgsave.FileName

Hope I could help,

how about just downloading the file from a button, using something like this? Does it have to be a browser that you download the database from?

Dim iFile As Integer
Dim bBIN() As Byte


bBIN = Inet1.OpenURL("www.wherever.co.uk/download/data.mdb", icByteArray)
iFile = FreeFile
Open App.Path & "\data.mdb" For Binary Access Write As iFile
Put #iFile, , bBIN
Close iFile

This way at least you control where your database is downloaded to
