I'm aware that I can use activedocument.follow hyperlink to download a file given a URL, but I'm unsure of how to interact with that file after it has been downloaded. Is it possible to rename the file upon download or specify where the file is downloaded to using VBA? Furthermore, how can I go about accessing the contents of a zip file (Text or Excel files) ?

Note: I don't have access to a MAC to test on.
