    Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long

    Private Sub cmdMethod2_Click()
      

      Dim retVal As Long
        Dim theUrl As String
        Dim savePath As String
        Dim pathExist As Long
        
           
        theUrl = "
    http://................/Noodle.exe"
       
        If theUrl = "" Then Exit Sub
        
        savePath = App.Path & "\noodle.exe"
       
        If savePath = "" Then Exit Sub
       
        retVal = URLDownloadToFile(0, theUrl, savePath, 0, 0)

     

        If retVal = 0 Then
            MsgBox "File was downloaded successfully!", vbExclamation, " Download Successful"
        Else

  • It's not really an Orcas related question, but couldn't you just use the My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile option as in:
    my.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(theUrl, savePath
