the process runs various searches across internal servers and returns data
to the ie screen
I am after just a small piece of stringdata that appears in just a few
files, where I know the name of the starting portion of the filename but it
is not actually a url and it does not end in something I can predict,
meaning that the end part in the cache is made up of symbols and numbers
the size of the file that contains the data I want also varies

as I mentioned to randy, it looks like this little piece would give me the
filenames from the cache

Private Function GetStrFromPtrA(ByVal lpszA As Long) As String
   GetStrFromPtrA = String$(lstrlenA(ByVal lpszA), 0)
   Call lstrcpyA(ByVal GetStrFromPtrA, ByVal lpszA)
  Debug.Print GetStrFromPtrA
End Function

am not sure how I would use UrlDownloadToFile as I can not intercept or
repeat anything in the process that the person would have done in the search
application, I simply wish to capture the string and write it to my report
server
