This sub will allow you to downloaded files off of the web by making one call. The syntax will look sometime to this effect:
Call GetInternetFile(Inet1, "https://www.fakeURL.com/~yup/picture.jpg", "c:\temp")
Assumes
For this sub to work you need to have an Inet control placed onto your form. After that it's just a matter of calling it.
