How to Prevent Save As Dialogue when Downloading File?

[razzandy]

Hi Guys

This is my first post on here and I've only just started using iMacros so I'm a newbie! I am pretty good on Excel VBA but not up to speed yet on iMacros

I have recorded a Macro to navigate to a website, login with username & password, then navigate to a link where I can download a dynamically generated CSV file. All that works great but I want it to work fully automatically. I will schedule it to run once a day so without any user input, I need to prevent the Save As Dialogue Popup form appearing and just save the file automatically. Is this possible?

My last few lines of code are:

ONDOWNLOAD FOLDER=* FILE=+_{{!NOW:yyyymmdd_hhnnss}} WAIT=YES
TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON FORM=ACTION:/Reports/Scores ATTR=TXT:Create<SP>Report
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Logout

Thanks in advance

CIM...! (Read my Sig...)
+ If using v10.0.x for CR/FF, mention as well 'Free'/'PE'...

But yep, your Script looks correct to me for handling the 'Save As' Dialog..., you could/should only add some mini-'WAIT' Statement (just before the 'Logout') to make sure the Download "has the time" to get initiated while the Script is still running (for the 'ONDOWNLOAD' Command to be effective...).

Oh...!, I don't know this v10.0.5 for CR Version, I didn't see any Announcement about it, oh but it is mentioned in the Wiki, OK then...
But you seem to be right:

Version 10.0.5 maintenance release
17 September 2018

⮞ Fixed: SaveAs dialog
⮞ Fixed: Macros with capitalized extension name .IIM do not get displayed in the tree
⮞ Fixed: SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FILE=+... duplicates the name of the file
⮞ Fixed: !TIMEOUT_STEP 0 not working
⮞ Improved: Close iMacros dialogs (prompt, extract, etc) by pressing Enter
⮞ Other minor fixes

Seems to be very recent..., and I see several "Fixes" about 'SaveAs' Dialog...
=> Are you sure you really tested in that v10.0.5 Version as it seems to be very recent...?
Were you using v10.0.3 "before" and was it working in that Version...? If you used v10.0.3 (or v10.0.2) do you notice any "Change in Behaviour" between the 2 Versions...?
