When I open IE's temp folder, it does not hold any pdf files, only other file types. I was thinking that maybe Adobe has its own temp file folder ?

Pls ignore my previous comment, the pdf is contained in the IE's temp fodler. I was looking at the most recent date stamps in the temp folder, and could not see any pdf's. Turns out the date stamp does not correspond to the download date, but the document creation date, so the pdf turned up much further down the list than I expected. Thanks for your help!

When I open a pdf file through a web link, such as <a href="http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/School-party-scope-06.pdf" rel="ugc">http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/School-party-scope-06.pdf</a>, is this pdf stored on my hard drive in a temp folder, and where? I'd like to refer to that file in excel vba but skip the &quot;pdf save onto hard drive&quot; step. I use IE 7 &amp;&nbsp;Windows XP Professional.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
