This is probably simple, but the logic has slipped past me. How do I
load a picture into a control image from a website stored file?

This doesn't work:

Me.Image1.Picture = _
LoadPicture("http://www.somewebsite.com/pix/someimage.gif")

But entering "http://www.somewebsite.com/pix/someimage.gif" into the
Image Control Properties box for Picture does work.

Thank you for your ideas.
