You've run into a typical situation: the source of
the data is in many files and there's a program
that uses logic to combine them into a report.
Because of that, you can't simply download the 
source data to the PC.

You can add an output file to the program, then
download that, or contact a company like Monarch who
have a product that reads reports and converts them
into Excel, etc.
