Open text file for input from internet source

Hi

I have a website that generates data in a text file. I have a database that
is supposed to import data from the text file on the website. The format of
the text file is not ideal for the database so I have a form that opens the
text file and creates a text file in a better form. The program works fine
on the local drives of my computer (ie c:\ drive locations) but I can not get
the text file to open from the web server (ie the http:// address). The
database is on the web server. What code do I need to open a text file from
the internet using VB?

Alas, an Internet URL is not a very satisfactory substitute for a local hard
disk address. You might look into using FTP to download the file to your
computer, and use it from there.
