This is the whole point of web-based images doing this. If you notice the previous example had a .GIF extension. This Word understands.

Here's one way: http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/internet/urldownloadtofilenocache.htm If this were VB6, I'd point you instead towards the AsyncRead method of a UserControl - http://vb.mvps.org/samples/NetGrab Problem just got messier. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org
