I am trying to write a program that will log meinto a web site for which I am a member, and then down load a file(s) usign the URLDownloadToFile library function instead of copying/pasting one at a time.

Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long

Public Function DownloadFile(URL As String, LocalFilename As String) As Boolean
    Dim lngRetVal As Long
    lngRetVal = URLDownloadToFile(0, URL, LocalFilename, 0, 0)
    If lngRetVal = 0 Then DownloadFile = True
End Function
Private Sub cmdGetFiles_Click()
    DownloadFile URL...., "C:\Temp Files\22006.txt"

End Sub

The URL for the file is a sub url of the member login page, ie:

Main Page:  http://www.vbusers.com
Login Page: http://www2.vbusers.com/weborder/welcome_lookup.asp
Page With file Links:  https://www2.vbusers.com/weborder/Assets/22006.txt"

Any suggetions as to how I can login and than download the file?

Thanks!
