clicking a link on a site

[gcue]

I am trying to click on the "Export to CSV" link at the middle of the page. I think the script is working but Internet Explorer seems to be blocking the click action?

I get the a information bar at the top, "IE has blocked this site from downloading files to your computer"

But if I manually click the link it works.

Reason why I know I'm close is because the my ConsoleWrite results show the link I'm looking for - "Export to CSV"

It's a free website - no need for login

Look at Example 2 in the help file under _IEAction(). Set focus on the link and then ControlSend() to it.
