Using Access2007 to download images

[jon]

Hi,
I need to get an image from the internet and save it to my local drive.

The path for the image is stored in a field TXT_IMAGEPATH on my form.

Can anyone give me any pointers on how to do this ? ( obviously I need to do
it using Access and be able to automate it, so telling me to copy it into a
browser, right click and save is not a solution).

Thanks

Jon
