Hello all, I am trying to automate some tasks which are being done through Internet explorer, which include downloading a file and then copying it to a different directory and renaming it.
I was more or less successful in finding the information on how to do this, the code is working, but it has exceptions, therefore I would be grateful if someone could help me to improve this code.
There are two things I would like to do:
- Insert a loop, so that the script would wait for certain elements to appear and only then would proceed with execution. I have found something on this page https://stackoverflow.com/questions/..is-not-nothing, however, I also would like to built in a maximum wait time, like it is suggested there.
- As the code is downloading a file, it should also wait for the download to be finished, and only then proceed. Currently I am using 'wait' command, but the download times may vary and the script will stop in that case. I have also found a solution to this, by waiting till the button 'Open folder' appears, but I am not sure how to implement it in my code. Here is the code that i have found: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/..ie-is-complete
Also, maybe there is another solution, not to save file in a default download location, but do a 'Save as' instead and then defining the directory and file name in that way?
Thank you in advance!
Below is my source code, that I am using right now. As an example, I am using Microsoft page with sample file download.
With Excel, we can build custom download manager. This tool will allow you to download any type of file from the internet. Instead of cluttered Downloads folder, each file will get moved to their respective folder based on the file extension.
Windows 10 Vba Ie Download File From Url

If you want to start to use the software as soon as possible, then you can:
Otherwise, if you want to DIY, you can read the contents below.
Let’s prepare the GUI
Create a new workbook and add two sheets to it. Name the first sheet as “Downloads” and the second sheet as “Folder Settings”. In the sheet “Downloads”, add two columns. First Column is just to hold the serial number and the second column is to hold the URL of files to be downloaded. Please make sure that you increase the width of the “File URL” column to an extent that the full URL is visible. If you do not like to alter width of cells, you can directly merge cells and create a big field to hold big URLs.
Now we need buttons. Using shapes, add two rounded rectangles on to the same sheet. These two rounded rectangles will now act as buttons for our tool. Name the first button as “Download” and the other button as “Clear”
Go to the sheet “Folder Settings” and create multiple fields to add the folder path for each file type. In this example, I have created fields for 6 file types i.e., Excel, word, pdf, csv, png and torrent.
Let’s make it functional
Gears of war free online. Copy and paste the script into a new module. The script has two Subs and one function. Attach the Sub “Download_All” to the button “Download” and attach the macro “Clear_All” to the button “Clear”
Let’s test it
Add URL of a file and press the “Download” button. You can now find the file in respective folder as specified in the sheet “Folder Settings”.
How it works?
The script passes the URL to the Function getfilename to retrieve the file name. The file is downloaded from the URL and saved using the name received from the function. The Clear button will help you to clear old URLs and add fresh list of URLs
Modify it
You can add another column “Time to Download” and specify a time value to this Column. If you are using this on a server, you can keep the Excel open and create a macro to scan the “Time to Download” column at regular interval. If the specified time has reached, the macro will download the file.
Script
Use this script on Excel to get the desired output. However, sometimes your Excel files might get corrupted. To fix corrupted Excel data, you can use recovery tools such as DataNumen Excel Repair tool to get the desired result.
