Can't download file via Webdav for Excel 2013 in VBA

I am trying to download a file via Webdav in VBA and it works for Excel 2010 and 2007, but does not seem to be working for Excel 2013 (may have to remove "PtrSafe" to get 2007 to work). When I run the code in Excel 2013, the file does not download to my computer and I get the "Failure" message box. The value of lngRetVal is -2147221020 in this case. For Excel 2010 and 2007, the file downloads to my computer. Any thoughts on why it does not work with Excel 2013?

Code:
[/COLOR]Private Declare PtrSafe Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long 
Public Function DownloadFile(URL As String, LocalFilename As String) As Boolean
    Dim lngRetVal As Long
    lngRetVal = URLDownloadToFile(0, URL, LocalFilename, 0, 0)
    If lngRetVal = 0 Then
        If Dir(LocalFilename) <> vbNullString Then
            DownloadFile = True
        End If
    End If
End Function
 
 
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
    If ThisWorkbook.DownloadFile([File location on server], [local directory To save file]) Then
        MsgBox "Success!"
    Else
        MsgBox "Failure"
    End If
End Sub

Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
