Downloading File from IE

[Anonymous]

I have been trying to download an excel file from IE and I was able to create this process in an object with now problem; however when I try to run the process there is a failure to identify the save button. I have tried using accessibility mode and region to get the filed to download. Both approaches worked in the object, but I could not get it to work when running it as a process. The process is almost identical to the object actions, but has one more step of opening up the excel file from its downloaded location. Is there a reason for this disconnect?

If something works in object studio but fails in process studio or control room, then most likely it is due to the increased execution speed. In control room logic is executed much faster than any diagram - the 'gaps' between diagram elements slow the diagram execution down, whereas in control room there are no gaps, so any error in synchronisation is amplified.

What John is saying is to check your wait stages - both how long they wait and where they are (at the start of every action and after any navigation), 🙂

I'm facing same issue, adding wait time before the stage isn't helping. Any other alternate way?

Hello, I am having a problem while capturing a Save-As dialog and associated buttons. Any advice/lessons learned are much appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Hello, We can also try saving files using hot keys. Thanks, MK

There is at least one article in the knowledgebase about save-as dialogs, and I think the Browser Automation Guide also has some guidance on such IE popups. The advice is generally to create a seperate object for them and attach to the Ie popups and interface with them using Windows/Accessibility modes.
