Hello,

I need to know how to do an HTTP GET in VB. I would be retrieving a .csv file from the web and returning its contents for further parsing. Is there a way to do this using VB 6.0?

Best Reagrds,

If I am getting your point correctly.. You want to retrieve a .csv file from a web-server. If that so, It can be done using Internet Transfer control .

else if you don't have a control over the server, then you can put the .csv file on a webpage as a table(using TDS), surf that web-page in your application using web-browser control(of course keeping it invisible) and then get the .csv file from the Internet Temp folder . The .csv file would get downloaded to the machine
