Thanks for the info but I don't use ColdFusion. I tried using the VB script and then copying the file to a different name, but it's still formatted incorrectly.
I really like William's list and will try and find some reasonable way to automate the download on a weekly basis that results in a usable file. If it was FTP it would be easy, but I don't know how to do it via HTTP. -Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 7:27 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Ipswitch's URL Blacklist > I had the same problem and, if you're using ColdFusion, the code right > after my sig will fix it. > > The file is, at a guess, not in Windows format.
