Can I use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer? IE is giving me all sorts of issues when opening.
I have a list of URLs and I wrote a small VBA code to launch them when the user clicks on a button, however, it launches in Internet Explorer. Is there any way to get it to launch in Firefox instead?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it is possible to use a macro open a folder in Windows Explorer. Previously someone on this forum taught me how to open an Excel file from a macro, but in this case there will be a new file every week. As the files will all be stored in the same folder, I thought it would be easier to open the folder in the normal Explorer view and select the file manually than to change the macro every week.

But when I wrote and ran the :
InternetExlorer.Document.Links(x).Title

As of a few weeks ago the project explorer in VBA on my laptop has started retaining the information on all files/projects opened during the current Excel session so closing a file in Excel does not remove it from the VBA editor.
Furthermore if a file has been opened several times during an Excel session, it appears several times in the project explorer and editing the “dormant” versions does not impact the currently open copy of the file so the whole thing can get quite confusing and result in changes to not being saved.
I have a macro that opens a web page, copies data from the page, then paste the data into a worksheet in excel. All that works just fine. however I cannot figure out how to close the connection to the web after I copy the data

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write VBA code which will go to a web site, SelectAll, make a Copy and then close the IE connection. In my code, Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") works, objIE.Navigate "https://www.whatever.com" works, and objIE.Visible = True works. What's the objIE code for "Select All" and "Copy" ? I can't seem to find any reference to these commands in the posts anywhere.
im working on a project that has exposed myself to something. I am familiar with navigating through many IE websites in VBA, but this one has me stumped. I have entered all my information via code, and now I need to progress to the next screen. Here is the button I need to click.
<button name="btnRunSearch" accesskey="R"
class="actionButtonBold"
onclick="CSWCSC_runSearch(this.form)" onkeypress="return CSWCSC_submitenter(this, event)"><U>R</U>un Search</button>
The following 3 macros do the following.
1st macro . . . When the button is clicked for this macro, Windows Explorer is opened and the folder MyMenuFiles is selected. Works Fine.
2nd macro . . . When this button is clicked, the windows explorer opens with My Documents selected. Works Fine.
3rd macro . . . THIS IS THE PROBLEM ONE. When this button is clicked, windows explorer opens, with the C: drive selected. I want My Computer selected.
I am not sure if this can be done but I couldn't find it in the forum. I need a macro which will open a web page and on that page fill a search box with a value from cell A2 and click the search button. The macro I have now opens the webpage. I need the rest. The search box is like the one on google homepage, I mean when the webpage is opened, the cursor is automatically inside the search box.

View 3 Replies View RelatedEvery day I gotta enter information in my work's website (intranet), however I dont know that much about manipulate with VBA the Internet Explorer application, for example once I enter information in the website, I gotta enter an ID after that I gotta select the date, then I gotta give some clicks in some checkboxes, then I copy some information from excel and enter that information in the navigator, and finally click on save. The thing is that I do not have access to that website in my home so is impossible for me to provide you with the link... what kind of codes do I need to do it, or where can I find a manual where I can learn to manipulate another application like the Internet explorer with VBA.

Does anyone know the command in VBA to print the current Internet Explorer page? I was exporting it to Excel to print, but I could save time if there is a command to activate the print button.

I want to open a windows explorer window by using a button in Excel.
I have a VBA project that navigates to a website and then clicks on a link. When I click the link in my code a new IE Browser opens with a form that I wan to fill out. I know how to update the form, but I don't know how to reference the new browser window that was opened when I clicked on the link.
'Open End User Multiple Selection
Set tags = myIE.document.getElementsByTagName("A")
For Each tag In tags
If InStr(1, tag, "'multiple_selections.htm','EndUser'", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
tag.Click
Exit For
End If
Next
when I try to reference the document in the popup window, it is still referencing the previous window. How can I set my "myIE" object to reference the new pop up window?
I have been searching for ages for a solution/reason to this problem. Either i am using the wrong search terms or the information is not out there. I have created an intranet type series of pages for the laboratory i work in. These pages contain information on current orders, chemical lists, stock lists etc. The vast majority of these lists are kept as excel spreadsheets.
The problem i am having is that when you open one of these sheets in internet explorer you can not always have acces to all the menus (format, data, insert etc). All you can get is file, goto, favorites and help. Sometimes you have full access to all the menus and other times you do not. Originally i thought this was due to a copy of the file being open on another computer already but this does not seem to be the case.
If from a macro I open "workbook A" from within "workbook B" then "workbook A’s" VBA project remains in memory and in the VBA project explorer. If I then run the macro again I have 2 instances of workbooks A VBA project showing, and so on. I read on this forum that if you have a public variable that links the workbooks then this is the reason but I have created a test workbook with the following code
Sub test()
Workbooks.Open ("C:Path Data.xls")
Workbooks("Path Data.xls").Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub
If I run the macro test the workbook opens and then closes but its project remains open. How do I remove the projects when I close a workbook?
I want to create a macro to open a webpage, and with that webpage fill out the fields on the webpage and then hit enter and move to next record.

The problem I have is that once I have done this a number of times (probably somewhere between 80-100 times then I notice windows explorer starts to play up as if running out of memory. A reboot soon fixes that, however, I was wondering if there is anything I can add to the code to keep it from hogging up memory...if that is even possible.
When I say 80 - 100 times, I don't mean opening up 80 - 100 instances of windows explorer. I mean launching windows explorer, moving some files then closing that instance of windows explorer. Then coming back into excel and repeating that process.
