Hi Mike, One of the following two options is what you need: 1 - http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/IDLnetU... Basically, you will need to use the IDLnetURL class to create the objets needed to get data from URL addresses. See that at the end there is a reference to an example code: Example Code: See idlneturl_widget.pro, located in the examples/doc/objects subdirectory of the IDL distribution, for the example code listing. View the file in an IDL editor window by entering .EDIT idlneturl_widget.pro. at the IDL Command Line. That code is to do ftp though, I belive. But in your case, what you will need to use is the HTTP functionality of the IDLnetURL class. See that that functionality allows you to "Issues Get requests to retrieve data from a remote HTTP server and place it in a buffer or file." 2- or, less recommended, could be to use the following example routine: http://www.exelisvis.com/Support/Help... I hope this helps. Cheers Fernando

Hi Fernando, Thanks for your reply and tips. Yes, the scripts I have do use the IDLnetURL class to create the object, but trying to change oUrl-SetProperty, URL_SCHEME = 'ftp' to simply http doesn't work. The code example on the website you sent is ftp also. Looking at that code, there's lots of similar code as the one I have already. I'll do some more testing and see if I can get it to work. If not, would it be OK to send you the files, so you can check through them? They're not too long. Thanks, Mike
