can please help me, first time sec method works fine not sec time. have uncertainty ie instance, have tried more sleep time, , able go in loop not able click links.

thanks in advance

try next within downloadfiles method:

var link = ieinstance.links.firstordefault(p => p.text.equals("select account")); if (link != null && link.exists) { link.click(); }

or

var link = ieinstance.links.firstordefault(p => p.text.equals("monthly statement")); if (link != null && link.exists) { link.click(); }

debug code see getting within link.exists if statement. if not should try:

var links = browser.links; foreach (var link in links.where(l => l != null && (l.text.contains("select account")| l.text.contains("monthly statement")))) { link.click(); }

let me know if worked or not.
