    Re: need help in excel macro

    This is merely designed to show a general approach, but is specific to LinkedIn.

    In a blank workbook, enter the data as you originally specified in Cells A1 (WebAddress), B1 (Subject), and C1 (Msg Body).

    Copy and Paste the following into a standard module and run it. You will see an instance of IE open, navigate to the URL (Cell A1), and place the Subject (B1) and Message (C1) into the web.

    If you are satisfied with my solution click the small star icon on the left. Thanks
    1. Make a copy of your workbook and run the following code on your copy (just in case)
    2. With excel open, press ALT+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE). From the "Insert" menu, select "Module".
    3. Paste the code from above into the empty white space. Close the VBE.
    4. From the developer tab, choose "Macros", select the Sub Name, and click "Run".

    Hi AlvaroSiza,

    This script only pastes contents in the message. it does not click send button and close the current tab and switch to send message link. I need this to automate.

    Thanks

    Yep, that's what it does. Very clever as far as it goes but I want the same as you uppi. Also it opens a new instance of linkedin which needs a password. I want it to use my logged-in instance of linkedin, populate it from the spreadsheet, send it and move to the next record. Anyone out there who can help the pair of us. David
