Dear List,

I am sure we have covered this before (Seth?) but I cannot find anything
in the archives (probably cant set a good keyword).

The database has a text field containing a hyperlink.  When the user
clicks a command button on a form showing the address I want to download
the hyperlink document and save the contents of the page in a memo field
for later scraping and processing.

How is this done? Follow and FollowHyperlink just open IE.  Is there
something I am missing (apart from that!)
