Downloads without the prompts?

Is it possible to download files without having to click a prompt to
do so?

I'm writing a screen-scrape program for our company, we download tons
of XLS files from government websites.  I scrape all the links into a
table, then run the table through a loop to download the links.
Unfortunately I have to babysit the process and would love to just let
it run in the background.

Part of my code is as such:
*************************************
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rec = db.OpenRecordset("Select * from tblLinks")

Do While rec.EOF = False

  strURL = "" & rec("URL") & ""

     Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
     Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
        With objIE
         .Visible = False
          .Silent = True
          .Navigate (strURL)
       End With

rec.MoveNext
Loop
*********************************

I tried throwing a SendKeys "{Enter"} command after the End With but
it acted a bit flaky and I'm not sure if it's even right.

Any help would be appreciated.
