| CrAz3D | I was wondering how I might go about using msinet to collect a database off of the internet... I am trying to just switch as little as possible from main database code which uses database.txt as source. If someone could give me a pointer from this code on how to convert real quick I'd be greatful.: Open App.Path & "\database.txt" For Input As #1 --How would I use a converted ver of that to receive database? | April 13, 2003, 1:38 AM |

[/quote] Very simple my young lad. Simply keep your existing code but add this in form_load or what not: [code] open app.path & "\database.txt" for output as #1 print #1, inet1.openurl("http://www.yoursite.com/database.txt') close #1 [/code] | April 13, 2003, 1:42 AM |
| ILurker | I find it much better/easier to download the file from a site, then open it, then after delete it, if you want. It may not be as fast, but it doesn't use cheap "allready made" sources ;) --> I don't like stealing other people's codes | April 13, 2003, 1:45 AM |
| CrAz3D | I'm tryin' to use as a cheap & simple auth script basically, not really a db...though I might want to sometime. How might I be able to use the GetChucnk var for inet? | April 13, 2003, 1:57 AM |
