VBA - Go To Website And Download File From Save Prompt

May 24, 2013

How to save a file onto the computer using VBA. The code template below that I found on another forum seems promising, except when I go to the desktop to access it, the .csv file has what looks like the page's source code instead of the actual file I want. This may be because when I go to the url, it doesn't automatically download the file; rather, I am asked to save the file to a certain location (since I don't know the path name of the uploaded file on the site).

Is there any way to alter this code to accommodate this, or will I have to use a different code entirely?

VB:
Sub Test()
Dim FileNum As Long
Dim FileData() As Byte
Dim MyFile As String
Dim WHTTP As Object

[Code] .....

Download And Save Picture From Url Into Local File

Jan 28, 2010

I have a program operating in excel 2007 that extracts a picture from a URL and puts it into a PPT slide. I now discover that PPT 2007 doesn't allow this.

So my intent now is to download the jpg into a local file and then import into the PPT.

This is from a couple of sites:
[url]
[url]

At the top of the code:

Option Explicit

Private Declare 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

in the excel cell if a URL picture needs to be inserted it starts with the prefix "picture=" then the http address.

This did not work.

So I then copied the code from the websites into a module (changing the destination file and URL to mine of course) and called the procedure and still nothing.

Save As Macro With Location Prompt But Fixed File Name ?

Dec 29, 2008

For a sheet that many non-expert users will use on different systems I need a macro that let's them save, print and send the results of their work. So I made a macro that makes a copy of only 1 sheet of the workbook and saves it with a given name to a given location. The problem is that I want a location prompt to ask the user where they want the file saved, while giving/suggesting them a fixed filename. A lot of different users will make and use their sheets so I need a certain naming policy to manage all the files. (date, location, etc)

Macro To Download Csv File From A Dynamic Date Based Url To A File Location

Feb 23, 2014

I have a requirement to download a lot of historical data files from the archieve of an website. The url goes something like this: [URL]....

This downloads file for 21022014 ie. 21-Feb-2014. I need to be able to have a facility to have a selection criteria on my user form (in excel) where I specify a date range and the macro automatically downloads all the valid excel files available within that date range (files for Saturday, Sunday and some holiday dates will not be available in the website archive database) one after the other (like at single clcik of button) into a specific location (predefined viz.. c:/Users/EOD files/) on my laptop. Best would be if I am able to select the save location run time by using a 'Browse' like feature where I go and choose my local laptop folder...same type when we try uploading a file from our laptop to the web..

Prompt Where To Save

Jan 10, 2007

Currently I have information that includes numerous distributors information on one sheet. The code below separates each distributors information into a new tab and a new workbook, names the workbook and saves it in the specified file path.

I am trying to figure out a way to use an InputBox to popup and ask the user where all the new workbooks will be saved at. Thus, avoiding the need to change the code each time you want the new workbooks saved in a different folder .....

I have been working on automating IE. Part of my task involves using explorer to download a file from a given url and save it to disk.

Prompt For Save When No Changes Made

Dec 10, 2004

I have an excel spreadsheet that when opened and closed prompts to save changes, even when no changes have been made.

The spreadsheet is a copy of another spreadsheet which has then been modified. The original spreadsheet doesn't have this quirk.

There are no 'links' in the spreadsheets. Which was my first thought.

Feb 11, 2005

I have a spreadsheet that has hyperlinks in it and is mostly protected to prevent changes. Is there a way to prevent the "save changes" dialog box from appearing when this file is closed as I have to make this file available to others and don't want them to get this message or make save any changes.

VBA To Save As In Specific Path With Prompt

Oct 6, 2011

I'd like a macro that will:

Save my workbook
Then
Open the SaveAs box with the path already pointing to a specific directory and with the Name and file format already entered (.xls)

This is basically to save time navigating through our folder structure (which is a real mess). I don't want to automatically saveas the file as the target folder will change each month and the last part of the file name will chance (month). So I'd like a bit of flexibility rather than total automation.

VBA For Bypassing Replace File Prompt When Saving As A File In Macro

Jul 7, 2008

I am setting up a "save as" macro that saves a file by replacing another file in a folder. Even though the macro has been recorded by approving the replacement (the prompt appears "the file --- already exists. Do you want to replace the existing file?"), when I run the macro, I am again prompted about replacing the file. Is it possible to avoid the prompt so the file is automatically saved by replacing the named file?

File Download Without Knowing The Full Url (only Indirect Url Available)

Aug 13, 2008

have a link such as www.abc.se/downloadfile?file=12345. When opening this link in a browser the DownloadFile window popups and the file can be downloaded.

I would like to be able to download the file without involving the DownloadFile pop up (since some users have auto open enabled thus the downloadfile pop-up is not always shown)

I have tried URLDownloadToCacheFile and similiar methods but they fail as they dont have the direct link to the file.

So my question now is how can I extract the direct url?

There should be a way to capture it since it will be used in the downloadfile dialog.

Automatically Control File Download Dialog

Jun 29, 2006

complete the attached code (Excel VBA) to automatically process a File Download dialog from Internet Explorer. I want to click "Save" which will produce the "Save As" dialog. Then I need to enter a default filename like (C:Temp) and click "Save" again. When this is working, I will hide Internet Explorer to make the operation completely transparent to the user. The URL is a sample chosen specifically for this test case.

Public Sub Report_Test()

Dim objIE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim strURL As String
Dim varItem As Variant

' Establish connection to the Internet Explorer application.
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

' Set Internet Explorer visible.
objIE.Visible = True
