macro of internet explorer

Hi everyone,

I would like to seek your assistance as I have seen your comments in some of the threads here.

My question is, is it possible to navigate internet explorer using a macro in a way that the macro will do the clicking. Hope you could spend a couple of minutes answering my query. Thanks a lot.

Hi dropshot,

In VBA you could do a SendKeys command that puts keystrokes in the keyboard buffer just like you were typing them.

Here is an example:

or search the web for VBA SendKeys

Thank you Marvin,

How about clicking and item or link, is it possible? Thanks a lot again.

I have to disagree with telling the OP to use SendKeys, as it's unlikely to work reliably with IE, or any application for that matter.

Instead search for IE automation with the HTML Object Library, which allows you navigate IE to URLs, click links, populate form fields, click buttons, etc.
