I'm trying to retrieve remote images that are stored on a website. In Access
I have a table that has the relevant image names, and then I need to go to a
web site to see if those images exist. If so, I then need to copy that image
file to a local (maybe LAN) based drive.

I am using Access 2000, and was thinking of either doing a direct copy from
the record, or loading up an image control, and then copying the image from
there.

Is this at all possible? What controls/VBA code would I require?

Hi,
I think you can show images in web browser control, so you don't need to
download images
but if you like - you can consider using this:
