WebControl() Access 2010 - save url/document in database or as localfile

Hi

I have a form with a webcontrol where I need to save the url/document ex. a pdf-file in my database as an attachment..

When I ex. make a google search and find a pdf document - I can open it inside the control - no problem.. and the PDF reader save functions opens too...

But I need to save the document in my database og local ex. pdf-file

Please help

Thanx in advance

Thanks for not replying with help or suggestions ;-)

Learned a lot reading several articles etc..

Instead of using the new webcontrol - I used the Microsoft Web Browser ActiveX component..

I'm complete newbie on ActiveX but it seems like

WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_SAVEAS, OLECMDEXECOPT_DODEFAULT

did the job for filesaving... hope I won't get into trouble when I distribute the database with runtime only...

Seems like the ActiveX Component gives me several more options.. like print commands...progress bar etc..

I wonder why I can't find a complete list of vba commands for the new native webcontrol in Access 2010. hmm...

Hi welcome to the forum.

Not getting an answer to your question is annoying, right. But hey its free.

I had a look for an access 2010 "webcontrol" and nothing popped out for me. First I use MSDN for references but I could not find the 2010 stuff for access. I could only download some .exe which i did not want to do.

So are you sure there is a "new" webcontrol. I would really be surprised if there was. I have recently been playing with .NET and there there was a "new" webcontrol which was really the old Webbrowser control wrapped in shiny new paper. So nothing new there and I bet there is nothing new in Access either.

In any case it looks like you have got it all working with the webbrowse control.

I am certain that it's the old webbrowser wrapped in shiny new paper

But anyway frustrating not to find any documentation because the handling is so different from the ActiveX component..

I got my filesaving functionality from the ActiveX component but... quickly found out that all mouse events etc. have to be programmed.. hmm.. mouse events are essentiel to me so I can follow user navigation etc..

So the "new" webbrowser control in 2010 is born with a complete set of event properties... perhaps I should go with down that path anyway
