web.Document.execCommand "SaveAs", False, "data.text"
it works but i need it to not ask me were to save it to any ideas/help? You can't stop the SaveAs box from appearing. Only way would be using a timer and FindWindow. When that window is found, generate keystroke by a simple SendKeys or keyb_event / PostMessage .
But this method is not very good.
to save the webpage as plain text and as html (without images and styles) you can do this,

Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
    Dim Ftxt As Integer
    Dim Fhtm As Integer
 
    '-----------------
    Ftxt = FreeFile
    Open "C:\data.txt" For Output As #Ftxt
    Print #Ftxt, WebBrowser1.Document.body.InnerText 'Saves as text
    Close #Ftxt
    '-----------------
    Fhtm = FreeFile
    Open "C:\data.htm" For Output As #Fhtm
    Print #Fhtm, WebBrowser1.Document.body.InnerHTML 'Saves as HTML
    Close #Fhtm
 
End Sub

You can directly download the file by URLDownloadToFile.shtml
To silently save the document with images etc, you'll need to either string parse the document to get the images urls
or better, do the way IE does - loop through DOM, get the image addresses, look for them in cache. If they are found in cache, copy them. Otherwise, download them. thanks i dont need the images or anything my program just saves the page as html then searches thrue it for keywords
