access a website with username/password

[redrav26]

Hi,

I'm a new user to excel VBA. I'm trying to create a simple macro which would allow me to open an internet explorer broser, to a website, for example, hotmail, and automatically input my username and password.

Can anybody help??

Thanks

I do this every time I access this Forum. I have Ruby installed on my PC and also WATIR which is a Ruby based web testing library. Both are open source and free.

Running the following Ruby Program logs me onto this forum and looks for unanswered posts.

If you macro shells the ruby executable with a file like the above as an argument, you will get the effect that you want.
