please help me !!!

I *think* you're going to need to get into AppleScript to get this working, I doubt you can do this directly in VBA

so could you show me how to correct the problem :)

Nope, I don't know AppleScript...

anyone please help me

up for helping

see http://www.rondebruin.nl/mac.htm for some helpful information.

I am not the expert others around here are, but the two things I see are the internet connection check (definitely will not work) and maybe the ftp server save. I would comment out the internet check and work on getting the file from ftp server.

yes, you are right, but i don't know how to fix the code to work on Mac, i've already see that link but have no information about my problem :(

try this for starters
