Hi

Im working on a project and am considering using access, essentially im building a weather app (just a university project, not an actual app), ive checked and using access is permissible (though it is recommended i use java)

essentially i need to get the db to both download a json file from a url and then deserialize/parse it and create an update query to add the data to a table

the update query part should be easy enough (once i have variables storing the data from the json file i should have no trouble writing the query), however im unsure how to download the file (and save it to a set location) and actually have the db read the file in VBA

just wanted to check if this is possible and if someone could steer me in the right direction?
