    Simulate "Save Target As" using MSHTML

    Does anyone know how to simulate the right click "Save Target As" using
    MSHTML?

    I find that I can navigate through the LinksCollection on any given page but
    often these links are links to files (*.doc, *.xls etc). If I follow the
    link, it will open the document, but I am interested in saving it. Any ideas?

      John,

      Not that I have directly the answer, know that if you reuse HTML the
      behaviour will be as Interenet explorer.

      Therefore you can not save unintended the doc somewhere on disk. However you
      can save the outertext from the HTML tag what is beside the first header
      mostly complete the page.

      I hope this helps,

      Cor

          You could download the file using 'WebClient.Down loadFile'.

              Thanks Mr. Wagner. That is exactly what I needed.
