Hi

I have a website that generates data in a text file. I have a database that
is supposed to import data from the text file on the website. The format of
the text file is not ideal for the database so I have a form that opens the
text file and creates a text file in a better form. The program works fine
on the local drives of my computer (ie c:\ drive locations) but I can not get
the text file to open from the web server (ie the http:// address). The
database is on the web server. What code do I need to open a text file from
the internet using VB?
 
Answered in another newsgroup. If you feel compelled to ask your question in
more than one newsgroup, please 'crosspost' by including all the newsgroups
in the header. That way, my answer (unless I modified the header) would have
appeared here, too.

What you've done is called "multiposting" and is "frowned upon" because it
makes extra work for those who answer questions. For other good suggestions
on effective use of newsgroups, see the FAQ at
