Downloading files from the internet

[Andrew Smith]

I want to write a VBA procedure to download a set of pdf files from a web
site. I'm not sure where to start with this, so would appreciate any
suggestions!

Thanks in advance.

You use FTP to get files.
It is actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it.
There are only about 20 commands or so.

The site above shows one way to code it in VBA.
(I used it in one of my apps and it works fine.)

You could also use a control (Inet?) from VB6 which makes it really simple.
