Hi

This is driving me NUTS!!!

At present I'm using the ADODB.Stream object and then using the LoadFromFile method to grab an image from the server and turn it into a binary stream for output.

I need to be able to do the same with images that are located at URLs rather than a path on the server..

so at present I'm using

objStream.LoadFromFile "c:somedirsomeimage.gif"

and I want something that will allow me to do something like

objStream.LoadFromFile "http://www.someurl.com/someimage.gif"

Any ideas? Do I need a completely different object?

Do I need to copy the file to the server first?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Simon

Simon,

I think it's as simple as using Server.MapPath, isn't it?

Server.MapPath translates virtual addresses into physical file locations, e.g.

objStream.LoadFromFile Server.MapPath ("http://www.someurl.com/someimage.gif")

HTH,

Simon,
Looks to me as though you need to use the Open method instead of the LoadFromFile.
Just a stab in the dark. Good luck...
