I'm phrasing this question the best way i know how. After many weeks of trying, I finally have a working macro. I can run it, it will auto-log me into my bank account. If I try to run it a second time, I get an error message. If I clear my browsing history and close/re-open the file, it works again. What the actual hell is going on with this thing and how can I correct it? Would greatly appreciate the help. Tks.
Hello Jim,
What your describing is a "cookie". A cookie is a small text file saved to the user's hard drive until it expires or the user deletes it.
What is in a Cookie
- Name and data: data is limited by the browser, usually less than 4 KB; a server can define multiple cookies with different names, but browsers limit the number of cookies per server to around 50.
- Domain for this cookie: server, port (optional), URL prefix (optional). The cookie is only included in requests matching its domain.
- Expiration date: browser can delete old cookies.
The first time your browser connects with a server no cookies are created. When the server responds to the browser's request, one or more cookies are sent back. In the future whenever the browser connects with the same server, it includes a Cookie which the server can use to connect related requests.
Cookies are used by the server to implement Sessions. A Session is a pool of data related to an active connection. Typically, the cookie contains an identifier for the session. Most servers check for a session cookie at the start of each request. If the cookie exists then use it to find the session data. If not create a new session cookie. A session id allows the server to access your data without making any personal data like your user name or password public.
You may simply need to change your browser settings to clear cookies when it closes.
Sincerely,
Leith Ross

Hello. Thank you for the reply. I appreciate the help. I tried what you said, and still no luck. The URL keeps changing on me. From https://chaseonline.chase.com/ (the one that works) to https://www.chase.com (the one that prompts errors). I also tried changing "Dim IE As InternetExplorer" to "Dim IE As InternetExplorerMedium" because I read somewhere that that might help. Something having to do with this being a secure site and it was redirecting me to a parent URL. I've been looking like crazy for a solution but it's hard to even figure out the correct way to phrase the question to search for one. Would greatly appreciate any other possible solutions. Tks.
