Ken,

To add references, go to Tools--References in the VB editor. Find
each of the listed item and put a check next to it.

I'll send you a copy of my test workbook to the address
.
If that's not your address then drop me a line at: saxifrax at pacbell
dot net

Tim.

Thanks, but as a VBA beginner I need a little more guidance. I put
everything from "Option Explicit" through the second "End Sub" in a
code window and ran it. I get an error "Compile Error, Argument Not
Optional" and the first two lines under "Option Explicit" are
highlighted. Also, I don't understand the beginning part from "'add
references" to through "ms HTML object library." Thanks.

Ken

Is there a way to do a bulk download of Excel files on a web
page to a
single folder on my hard drive? The files I want to download
are at:
