VBA save as using information bar - download ribbon in IE11

Hi everyone..
I am using IE11 and Excel 2010. I am writing a code to download csv files from a website and to work with the downloaded data.
Till now I have coded the part to select options on the webpage form and click on the download report button. But after this I get a download ribbon (yellow information bar) with open, save, cancel option.
Is it possible through VBA to save this file to a particular folder by accessing the download ribbon?
If not can I autodownload(without having to click on save) to the default folder when a download comes?
Notes :-
I cannot use handles as there is no popup save download window.
I cannot use URLtodownload API as there is no particular link and the report is generated by the website on post through js.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please help.

  • Handling IE9 File Open Save Cancel information bar.

    I am automating a webpage using IE object. I am able to fill in the forms and click a link which downloads an excel file.I need to handle the information bar(Yellow popup) "Do you want to open or save the file" on File download in IE 9 using excel
    VBA . I need to click save as option. In IE8 i was able to handle the file download dialog box using windows handles. Could anyone please help in achieving the same in IE 9 ?
    I also tried for windows handles which does not help me as the open save buttons are not detected as child windows.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • I would like to allow a plugin to be downloaded but the yellow information bar to allow this is missing.

    I want to allow a plug-in to be installed but the yellow information bar which would allow me to do this is missing. Both "plugin.hide_infobar" configs are set to false. I disabled the pop-up blocker as well. How do I allow that plug-in to be installed manually?

    See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller Download Flash Player with the manual installer
    # Download and save the Flash installer for the Firefox browser to your desktop.
    # Exit Firefox (File > Exit), you may need to verify that in the Task Manager (XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC, Processes tab)
    # Start the Flash installer with a double-click on the desktop icon of the Flash installer.

  • I used to use SpeedBit Video Downloader with Mozilla Firefox, but suddenly a problem happened, I can not download with it now at all as there is an code error appears in the bar of SpeedBit like "XML Parsing Error: unclosed token Location: chrome://browse

    I used to use SpeedBit Video Downloader with Mozilla Firefox, but suddenly a problem happened, I can not download with it now at all as there is an code error appears in the bar of SpeedBit like "XML Parsing Error: unclosed token Location: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul Line Number 1, column 8702:....................."
    I did evrey thing, but the same problem
    reinstall SpeedBit, reinstall Mozilla Firefox.
    So what can I do!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 4 days ago

    look people, i may have a solution for this. This happened to me a few times before and resolved alone, but last time it happened was when i turned off my router and back on while my comp was running and appeared when i tried opening firefox after that. so wat i did was i shutdown the computer and the router and tried turning both on again, and it resolved.
    Therefore, Summary: Shutdown computer then turnoff router then turn both back on
    Hope this helps anyone.

  • Using Sothink video downloader, normally video files are save in FLV extension. Now for whatever reason suddenly my video files are save in .ebm extension. "Save file Type As" is peg only on .EBM extension

    Using Sothink video downloader, normally by default my video files are save in FLV extension. Now for whatever reason suddenly my video files are save in .ebm extension & I can't open my video file. "Save file Type As" -to select file extension does not seem to work -

    It's a WEBM video file. My solution was to rename the file to have .webm extension, and play it with the latest VLC Player (2.1, but I think any from 1.1 and upper will solve it too). Just associate .ebm with VLC didn't work. I had to rename the files so VLC knew exactly what that thing was.
    By the way, it worked the same way with a .eam file (!), I just renamed the extension to .webm.

  • Firefox crashed, will not reopen. Removed perhaps corrupted Firefox. Used Chrome to download new version. Still will not open. Mozilla Crash Reporter continues to come up. I hit open and it just continues to come up.

    My Firefox crashed. I got Mozilla Crash Reporter. It refused to reopen no matter how often I tried or re-booted. It continued to try to restore Tabs. So I used MS Control Panel Add/Delete Programs. I deleted it and then used Chrome to download a new version. But it continues to try to reopen tabs. I love Firefox in spite of it's repeated crashing .... often when I am saving pictures to my hard drive. I love the add-ons and extensions. How do I get around it's effort to restore Tabs? How do I get it to open? I don't care about the Tabs. My Thunderbird email address is [email protected] My OS is MS Windows XP. Please help, Gary
    == Crash ID(s) ==
    no ID given
    == User Agent ==

    Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
    One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
    '''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
    Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
    Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
    Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

  • Split Suite Bar and Ribbon Menu in SharePoint Online / O365

    Actual Requirement 

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to do customization in SharePoint Online with the requirement above.
    For the first question, continue to Scott, you can read the rss feed, the rss feed effectively contains the items from the list, you can read the list using Client Object Model to get RSS feed.
    For the second question, if you want to get current log in profile in my site, then you can try to use user profile rest api to get it.
    User profiles REST API reference
    For the third question, if you want to deploy the announcement app from on-premise to Online, if it's OOTB app, then it's not necessary, SharePoint Online have the announcement app as well.
    For the fourth question, if the CapIQ is a customize solution, I suggest you can use SharePoint hosted app to publish to the SharePoint online site.
    How to: Publish an app for SharePoint by using Visual Studio
    For the fifth question, if you want to upload the questions not create in site to the survey,  you can use Client Object Model to create the questions.
    Here is a similiar thread for your reference:
    Importing
    Questions into a Sharepoint Survey
    For the sixth question, if the information is stored in the list, then you can read the list using Client Object Model and it's better to create a SharePoint hosted app to achieve it.

  • How do I save my journals from editing (red ribbon).

    I have iPad 2 and the iPhoto app.
    How do I save my journals from editing (red ribbon).
    My problem: I created several journals then I went back to iPad photos and deleted the photos I used in my journals which deleted them from my journals also.
    The instructions stated if the photos were in a journal they would not be deleted. It did have a photo of a journal with a red ribbon, the red ribbon indicates journals can not be edited. I have not found how to apply the red ribbon to my journals. thanks for any help.
    iPad 2, iOS 5.1

    I think the red ribbon only appears if you have downloaded a journal from a different device, i.e. it is more of a 'show' function than a 'share', and the red ribbon is not something you can attach/detach at will. I was testing iPhoto earlier and shared some albums to iCloud, and then deleted the entire iPhoto app. When I reinstalled it, the albums appeared back on my device with shiny red ribbons attached. That's the best I can think of at the moment. Good luck!

  • How do I get Firefox to display the information bar when a pop up is blocked

    I accidentally clicked on "Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked" when a pop up was blocked. How do I get this message to reappear again when a pop up is blocked?
    I generally find pop ups annoying, but sometimes they are necessary to use certain websites properly. Now I can't get the information bar to come back when a pop up is blocked. How do I get it back?
    == Operating system ==
    Windows XP

    You can see a pop-up block icon in the right corner of the Status Bar if you have chosen to hide the information bar at the top.
    You can left-click that pop-up block icon on the Status Bar and remove the check mark from "Don't show info message when pop-ups are blocked"
    You can look at these prefs on the '''about:config''' page and reset them via the right-click context menu:
    Status bar icon: browser.popups.showPopupBlocker
    Info bar at the top: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

    If you use html form to submit download request, it will give you twice dialog. Use hyperlink to download, there will be only one dialog.

  • How can I save a file in the Downloads folder and automatically have it opened?

    Often, I'd like to download a file, save it to my Downlaods folder and have it opened right away.
    Currently, you can only decide between the two options "open" or "save to...". There's seemlingly no way Firefox can do both at once.
    I know I can download it, open the downloads manager and open it manually. But when working with over a dozen documents a day, that doesn't quite do the trick.
    In Chrome, you only have to click twice: Once for downloading and once for opening it from the download bar on the bottom of the screen. You do not have to open a download manager.

    Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
    I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
    1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
    2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
    3. Clicking on the downloaded file
    What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
    It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

  • How to find out the save as setting information in illustrator cs3?

    How to find out the save as setting information in illustrator cs3 through programmatically. I saved the file using the setting like Overprint, EmbedAllFonts, IncludeDocumentThumbnails throgh scripting. But i don't know how to find out the save as setting information(Overprint, EmbedAllFonts, IncludeDocumentThumbnails) whether the checkbox true or not through scripting. Kindly advice me.

    Thanks for your response. Some time the operator will set the wrong "save as setting" in the eps file . So i need to check wheather the operator set the correct save as setting or not. If the operator set the wrong save as setting,  i need to inform while running the script. So please advice me how to find out the save as setting information of the active document file, and then inform to the operator if any improper "save as setting" occured.

  • How do I reinstate the information bar that shows the prevention of opening a pop-up window?

    After Firefox opened the information bar telling me they blocked a pop-up window I inadvertently clicked the option link and deleted the information bar from coming up again.
    How do I reinstate the information bar that shows the prevention of opening a pop-up window?
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == I clicked the option link and selected the "do not show this again" option

    I set browser.popups.showPopupBlocker to false, and information bar still appears.
    When I also set privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage to false, it doesn't appear.
    To test, whether the information bar appears, I use
    [http://www.popuptest.com/popuptest3.html]
    So, set to true preferences
    privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
    and
    browser.popups.showPopupBlocker
    Both of them!!!
