Interaction on Child IE Window

[mitko007]

Hi,

i'm trying to automate a download process using a macro. SO far i've got it to work good, but I'm struggling with the last bit of my code. Basically the code i have so far logs on to a website, adjust some parameters and then clicks download. The problem is that after i press download, a new IE window appears where i need to confirm the download by pressing YES. I do not know how to navigate (switch) to the new window.

Could someone help me with this issue please.

Thanks
Regards

Two ways:

1. In a class module, declare the IE object WithEvents and trap the NewWindow2 event.

2. Loop through Shell.Windows looking for the IE window matching the required locationName, locationUrl, or document.title, etc.

Have you searched for the terms mentioned? That should find many threads and example code on the subject.

I found a similar example using the shell method. I tried to modify it for my code but i was getting an error message. I was more or less guessing since i'm not sure how exactly this option works.

Other than that i've done a lot of searching but didn't really succeed on finding something useful ;(
