Here's how to grab an image off the internet easily. You'll need an Inet on your form to do this. You can always get rid of your string variables and substitute the actual strings:

Code:
CODE

Dim localFile As String
Dim remoteFile As String
Dim fNum As Long
Dim b() As Byte

remoteFile = "http://www.site.com/image.jpg"
localFile = "C:\image.jpg"
  
  
fNum = FreeFile

b() = Inet1.OpenURL(remoteFile, icByteArray)

Open localFile For Binary As #fNum
Put #fNum, , b()
Close #fNum

MsgBox "Done"


Hope this helps.

Good tutorial! This code can do a lot more than download images, it can download any file type that you want, too. I haven't written in VB for a while, but shouldn't freefile have a set of parenthesises? Good job!

    buttons and menus for adding BBCodes. For example, if you wanted to make something bold, you type
    what you want, highlight it, find bold in the text menu and click it. The nicest thing is, you
    can save, and you don't have to worry about a forum failing after taking hours to write a guide.
    I highly suggest you try it if you write guides often, the members on RsForums really lo....

    Removing List Duplicates (3)
    Removing duplicates from lists is something that you'll have to put up with if you're, say,

    have thousands of names to loop through several thousand times for each name on the list. This
    function that I made is, in my opinion, the best and quickest way to do it without too many annoying
    and slow for loops (good for lists 1k +). It compares lstA to lstB. Anything that is in both lists
    is added to lstC. To change it so that anything that isn't in both lists is ....
