How to access a downloaded file before VBA ends
I'm having problems accessing a file that was downloaded via VB. The
file does not appear until all code is executed. I need to copy and paste data from the downloaded file to an existing file. I tried using wait and sleep but nothing works. It seems the only thing that will work is to simulate hitting the reset button, wait a few seconds for the file to load, and then run the rest of the code. I need to be able to do this so that an end user won't be able to know whats going on (ie the visual basic window should never be visible). Any ideas?? Thanks in advance! Josh |

Thanks Tom for replying. I'm simulating web browsing and using sendkey
{ENTER} to do the actual "open" command on the file download prompt. Tom Ogilvy wrote: How are you downloading the file.
