Download Automation
Hello:
To download a bunch of EXE files I have to perform the following steps MANUALLY: * Go to a specific web site. * Submit an Invitation Code * Then submit an email address * Click on the download button * Download EXE file to drive C * Loop - perform above steps with a new Invitation Code I have an Excel spreadsheet containing a bunch of Invitation Codes in a single column. * I am trying to figure out how to take one invitation code at a time and perform the 6 stages above ? * Can this task be done with Visual Basic or any other programming language ? * Is it possible to run a Macro from within a Browser to record the various steps ? Thanks, John. |

Thanks, John. A real dirty way to do it is with sendKeys. Do a search in VBA for how to use it. It can be dangerous! Basically, if you can use the keyboard to tab to the button on the webpage etc then you can use sendKeys. The problem is that you CANNOT use any other application while this macro is running. I've heard there's a way to move the mouse clicker to a specific position on the screen but I've never done it. good luck! Nate |
