Hi AlexKaras

 

First off, thanks for the information! A few things with the SaveFile method.

 

1) Is it possible to just change the location of where we want to save the file, but not the file name? Right now, the file name is being set to the path where we want to save. It does however navigate to the correct path, I would just like to keep the name the default of what it is in the prompt.

 

2) The cursor ends up ON the Save button, but never clicks it. I have to explicitly click the Save button. All examples of SaveFile that I've seen don't include this. Any ideas?

 

Here is my code: 

 

  

Sub Test1
  Dim browser, location, ldap
  
  'Get the currently logged in user's ldap.
  ldap = CreateObject("WScript.Network").UserName
  
  'Get browser object
  Set browser = Aliases.browser
  'Click the small arrow next to the Save Button to display other Save options
  Call browser.BrowserWindow2.FrameNotificationBar.Notification.Save.Item.Click(10, 12)
  'Click Save As 
  Call browser.wnd32768.Click(79, 33)
  'The location where we want to save this file
  location = "J:\SavedFiles\"& ldap
  'SaveFile method will change location and prepare to Save
  Aliases.browser.dlgSaveAs.SaveFile location
  'Click Save button
  Sys.Browser("iexplore").Window("#32770", "Save As", 1).Window("Button", "&Save", 1).Click

Hi,

 

.SaveFile() method does all required actions internally and there is no need in explicit button click.

I assume that 'location' in your code sample contains only a path and you want to preserve the file name suggested by the system. When I had this case, I got the file name from the notification window displayed by the browser, combined it with the path and then just passed the obtained full file name to the SaveFile method.

This was done in the function (VBScript) that follows below. Hope it will help.
