I need to write a simple Script (VBScript preferred), to download a file from a URL address every night. The URL format is as follow: http://zzz.zzz.zzz.com:7778/xls/DC_Audit.xls I tried to use CreateObject but have no idea whether Internet Explorer can be open as an Application in VBScript. Any suggestion? -- Teddy
