How can I use Vbscript to interact with "Download File" pop up?

By QARich ·
I am using vbscript with a view to eventually use it as part of a quick test professional script (QTP). I imagine this could be a lot easier using the record and playback functionality intrinsic to QTP. The problem is I am still waiting for my access to the QTP license to be approved so cannot use QTP- as such I am writing this script in a .vbs file and executing it as a stand alone script.

I'm using xp OS and do not intend to use APi's or anything other than vbscript (this may not be possible). Ideally I wanted to create a custom function that will click on a specific link, click open to get the downloadable excel file and then compare the values in the file with other constants.

My issue is that I cannot interact with the pop up message titled "Download File", I have tried to use Vbscript to ascertain information about the pop up with specific msgboxes however I cannot because once the pop up appears my vbscript stops.

Is there a way to continue the script running? Is there a way to interact with this pop up? In your opinion am I better to wait for the access rights to come through and use QTP?
