This is a tough one...

I have a highly suseptible file in XML on a server with an http
address that I can access through a slew of propriatory applications.
I would like to create a copy of the file on my local drive using VBA.
THe problem is that:

1) I can't use saveas because if I do the active document becomes the
new copy and I can't programaticly reopen the old one because the
http: address will only open throught the prop app.

2) it's XML and it goes crazy (looses the XML coding in the
background) when i select all and paste it into a new temp file.

Thanks for your help...
