Download file from IE 10

Hello,

I would be very thankful if someone has an idea how to accomplish the following:

I need to download a file through VBA in Excel from Internet Explorer 10. I can't use the file name directly, because it is generated after a click on a button (there is no file URL available) and sent back to the browser for download.

With older versions of IE the download window was a pop-up and you could get its handler and take control over it. With IE 10 the download bar is at the bottom of the page and I couldn't find a handler for it.

Do you know if there is a way to get the handler of this window? Or another way to deal with this issue?
(It is much easier in my case to use IE directly instead of WinHTTP, otherwise I know this could work with WinHTTP)

Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards!

I have the exact same issue. If anyone knows how to help, another person here will be happy.

Hi,

the website I'm using requires a login but I'll try to find another one.
Just imagine it like this - you click on the button and the server receives a command to prepare the file (for example an Excel export of some data). The when the file is ready (could be a long time, minutes, even hours), the file is sent to the browser and in IE 10 you see a notification bar at the bottom to Open/Save/Save As the file. All of this is asynchronous.

Thanks again!
