I have a link which when clicked will prompt me as to how I want to open the generated report(which is in CSV format).

The issue I am having is every time this link is clicked/opened I am prompted with a message as to how I want to open the file, with what program.

Is there any way to suppress this message and have the file auto-open in excel every time?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the quick response.

I should have been more specific. It isn't a file per se, so it isn't located in any particular place.

What happens is someone has a javascript page which needs inputs for datetime. Once those inputs are input into the text boxes, a submit button is pushed. Once the button is pushed a CSV file automatically opens in excel.

I know the exact address of this generated file, however it can change depending on what date and time is input into the form.

I am trying to automate a data pull via VBA which will allow me set up auto-generated and emailed reports.

The sample link I have when clicked prompts me for what I want to open the result file with.

Clear as mud?
