Hi everyone, I hope I am in the right place, I do not know anything
about VB or scripting but I think this is the answer? I need to be
able
to grab a web image and save it to my local computer in a specific
folder. The image will
change periodicaly and I need it to save a new version every minute or
so, overwriting the previous file but keeping the same name.
Any help or a push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Dan

Try this:-


Option Explicit

Dim oXMLHTTP
Dim oStream

Set oXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0")

oXMLHTTP.Open "GET", "http://myServer/images/myimage.gif", False
oXMLHTTP.Send

If oXMLHTTP.Status = 200 Then
Set oStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
oStream.Open
oStream.Type = 1
oStream.Write oXMLHTTP.responseBody
oStream.SaveToFile "x:\somefolder\myImage.gif"
oStream.Close
End If
