Change Save As path on the download file box (VBA and API)

[aqpham3]

I am trying to automatically download some pdfs off of our companies website and unfortunately the company has it set up in such a way that the only way to me to automate the download process, I have to write VBA code to go through the save as file box method. In the screenshot below, does anyone know how to write code to change the "C:\Users\srn5\Downloads" to another path say "M:\StatementDocs\2013\" ?

Also, does anyone know how to rename the file in that box from "Deca_Written_statement" to lets say "Deca"?

re-read the question....and looked at the image you are after Chrome help

https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95574?hl=en-GB
this link to change default download location
however it will change it for everything

second part...you have to rename yourself or get some 3rd party renaming software....beyond scope of these forums really

The problem is i want the download location to be dynamic. I don't want it to always go to the same folder. Basically, i'm trying to write a macro that will go to multiple sites and download them to the appropriate folder.

Also, the macro will be using IE rather than chrome.
