I have to login to a website, using a username and password, then go to a specific page and download a file with today cards data.
I never done this before, so any advice will be precious.
The site is: http://www.horseracebase.com/horse-racing-today.php
The file needed is downloaded from the RED ( ) download button.
The question is: how can i push the red button from excel?
Thanks in advance,
Catalin
Catalin,

Here is my suggestion

I do something very similar at work everyday but Excel can sometimes not run the code to do this easily. I have done this in the past with sendkeys. Most people will reply this and say Booo to sendkeys and I will agree. sendkeys is not the most dependable. Try looking into autohotkey and write a script to click on the screen at a location type in the user info and then click on the red button. The syntax is pretty straight forward and I know it does not really apply to this form but I believe it would work very well with what you are trying to do.
