I'd try a combination of the Application.Wait and a loop to check to see if the
download file is ready.
Depending on file size, I'd probably check the size of the download file.
then wait for 5 seconds, and check again.
If the file size changes, then wait again until the file size no longer
changes, then break out of the loop.
Like:
Sub FileCheck()
Dim Loopcnt
Dim fName, fPath, fSource
Dim fso, f, LastSize
Dim FileFlag As Boolean
fName = "C:\temp\VBA\TestFile.txt"
LastSize = 0
FileFlag = False
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
For Loopcnt = 1 To 1000
If (fso.fileexists(fName)) Then
Set f = fso.getfile(fName)
If (LastSize = f.Size) Then
FileFlag = True
Exit For
Else
LastSize = f.Size
End If
End If
Application.Wait Now() + TimeValue("00:00:05")
Next Loopcnt
If (Not FileFlag) Then
MsgBox "Loop Count exceeded without identifying File"
Else
MsgBox "File Size = " & Format(LastSize, "###,###,###,###") & " after "
& Loopcnt & " iterations"
End If
End Sub
