Hi,

Please can someone help me. I am trying to download a zip file from a website using VBA. The website requires a login. I have the login saved in internet explorer or Chrome.

At the moment the macro runs but internet explorer prompts to save or open.

Is there a better way to do this? I've seen URLDownloadtofile but didn't think this worked when requiring a login.
And then some help UNzipping this would be great.
Thanks


VBA Code:
Sub Web_Scraping()

   Dim Internet_Explorer As InternetExplorer
   Dim saveInFolder As String, saveAsFilename As String
  Set Internet_Explorer = New InternetExplorer
  Internet_Explorer.Visible = False
  
Internet_Explorer.Navigate ("https://www.pencarrie.com/export/products.zip")


End Sub

          Set objStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
          objStream.Open
          objStream.Type = 1
          objStream.Write objXmlHttpReq.responseBody
          objStream.SaveToFile "C:\Users\JohnGlanville\OneDrive - MPC Embroidery\Desktop\Customers\Pencarrie Price" & "\" & "PencarriePrice.zip", 2
          objStream.Close
     End If
 Dim File        As Object
    Dim Files       As Object
    Dim MainFldr    As Object
    Dim MainPath    As Variant
    Dim oShell      As Object
    Dim ZipFile     As Variant
    Dim ZipFldr     As Object

        Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
            
        Set MainFldr = oShell.Namespace(MainPath)
        
            Set Files = MainFldr.Items
                Files.Filter 32, "*.zip"
                
            For Each File In Files
                Set ZipFldr = oShell.Namespace(File)
                For Each ZipFile In ZipFldr.Items
                    MainFldr.CopyHere ZipFile.Path
                Next ZipFile

Hi johnmpc,
How can i get url from excel cell to our VBA Code and assign value to (FileUrl) in above code
Welcome to the Board!

If your URL was in cell A1, simply replace this line:
VBA Code:
    FileUrl = "https://www.pencarrie.com/export/products.zip"
with this
VBA Code:
    FileUrl = Range("A1")
