Code to do a Web-download

C

c mateland

In an addin I employ some commonly used Web-download code as shown
below:

Public Function DownloadFile(sDlNetFileAddy As String, _
sDlUserPath As String) As Boolean
DownloadFile = URLDownloadToFile(0&, sDlNetFileAddy, _
sDlUserPath, BINDF_GETNEWESTVERSION, 0&) = ERROR_SUCCESS
DoEvents
End Function

Along with the supporting code, it works well, but my concern is for
those poor souls with really slow connections. I'm concerned it may
cause a runtime error if it takes too long.

Any thoughts on this? Is there a way I can set a timeout variable?

Thanks,
Chuck
