    Loading from web

    I need to load Word documents from the web into OLE Object fields in
    an MS Access database.

    My DB table has two fields: A Text field which already holds the URL
    of the Word document and an OLE Object field into which I want to load
    that document.

    I need to write a SQL Update query (or ADO code) to step through the
    table and load all the documents. The code will need to handle
    obvious errors (invalid or missing URL in the text field and/or
    document not found errors from the web server).

    Can anyone put me on the right track for how to do this?

    Thanks

    Nigel

    Sorry to comment on own post but forgot to say I am using Access 2002 and
    backward compatibility to earlier versions isn't an issue.
