That's interesting. Have you tried the OpenURL method with the microsoft ftp site code I posted? I haven't, but it would probably work. Do whatever works is my philosophy.

Check the Help in VB for the OpenURL method. They provide a good example on how to retrieve files via ftp, though it looks like you already know what you are doing.

Best,
