Hi All,

want to make a simple macro here. I have a list of cells what each has
a weblink to a file. I want to make a Macro that will download each
linked file into a directory on my PC. is this possible

simple execution:
active cell will start at "A1", there will be a web-link as the value
for the cell and i want the file for the web-link saved directly to a
directory on my c-drive. it will work it's way down until the
activecell is empty.


Regards
Hemant

This is some code I found on the net ages ago with some additional bits
to loop you through column A.

You will need to set correct parramaters for the sLocalFile variable.
This is the full path and file name for where the downloaded file is to
be saved to
