httpwebrequest

Hey all,

So - I'm trying to populate a word document with XML data that's being provided by a webserver.

My idea is to run a macro when the document is loaded that will make a http request and get that xml of the server.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Cheers,

Ashley

I played around with a little test document and the only difference I could see is that I could "inline" (who would have guessed ;-)) the inline macro. So why not always use the inline version? >>> More
