Saving a picture from a web site

[Reveille]

I tried to move the file from the Temporary Internet Files folder but access is restricted.

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(TempPath & filename, StartPath & "\Saved")

picture boxes are are also restricted from the TIF directory.

I am able to get the URL of the picture but still havent had success in saving the image.

Does anyone know how to go about doing this?

Check may be file is read only.

More likely it's still loaded in the browser. Close all browser windows.

If you have the URL, just get your own copy with the URLDownloadToFile API.

Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon.dll" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" _
                       (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, _
                        ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long

Private Sub TryThis()

    Dim sURL As String, sTarget As String
    
    sURL = "http://somewebsite.com/somepicture.jpg"
    sTarget = "C:\SomeFolder\somepicture.jpg"
    Call URLDownloadToFile(0, sURL, sTarget, 0, 0)

End Sub

Comintern, you are my saviour.
I had to change the parameters from Long to Integer because it was "destabilizing the stack" o.O but other than that it worked like a charm.
THANK YOU!

Ahhhh... Didn't notice you were using .NET. Glad it worked for you.
