MS Access VBA Programming MS Excel VBA Programming MS Word VBA Programming No Comments I while back a need to be able to read a file off of a web server. I found a couple ways to do so. From here I wish to click on a button that will download a.csv file. Right now clicking on the button causes the information bar to popup due to the security settings. It appears that the button has a java script behind the scenes that actually creates the.csv file, but IE is blocking my access.

If you are trying to download a file from a url then you can use the method in this blog.

But you will need to change saving path, file type etc. accordingly. It will be helpful if you can post your current code.
