-- Posted by masterfultemptation at 5:08 pm on June 1, 2006 Okay so I a URL of an image...but when I set the image box's location to the URL, it says type mismatch. This is the code now: ArtistImage.Picture = "http://home.cogeco.ca/~nickj/new.gif" Is there a way to get the image from that URL into the image box without using a Winsock control to download it? -- Posted by telomere13 at 6:31 pm on June 1, 2006 I don't know of a way offhand using an image box, but perhaps you can cheat by using a webbrowser control and directing it to that URL. -- Posted by masterfultemptation at 6:48 am on June 2, 2006 yeah, i was thinking about that...but i dont want the scroll boxes and am too lazy to find a way to get rid of them.  actually, i tried this and it seems to work: Code: Dim Array1() As Byte, FileNumber As Long, TempFile As String TempFile = App.Path & "temp.jpg" Array1() = Inet1.OpenURL(ImageURL, icByteArray) FileNumber = FreeFile Open PicFile For Binary Access Write As #FileNumber Put #FileNumber, , Array1() Close #FileNumber imgArtist.Picture = LoadPicture(PicFile) Kill PicFile
