I'd recommend setting a reference to shdocvw.dll and the Microsoft HTML Object Library. In XP shdocvw.dll is in your system32 folder, the HTML Object Library should be in your list of references. I only have access to XP at the moment, so you'll have to do a search for any other ver of windows you're using. Then in your code you can do the. Let us take the ethernet cards for example. Apart from every computer on the internet having an IP address, each ethernet computer has a 48-bit MAC address. This is the Media Access Control Layer and along with the LLC (logic link layer) compose the entire Data Link Layer in an ethernet example.

The April 2020 security fixes for Microsoft Office come with a warning that some VBA code will stop working. There are workarounds to let some references through. The KB4557055 security fix blocks VBA references that link to Internet or intranet sources or have been downloaded from the Internet.

The code below should introduce how the IE object works and how to manipulate it through VBA. I recommend stepping through it, otherwise it might error out during multiple navigations.

Web Scraping

The most common thing to do with IE is to scrape some information of a website, or to fill a website form and submit information. We will look at how to do it.

Let us consider example.com source code:

Vba Microsoft Internet Controls

We can use code like below to get and set informations:

What is going on? The key player here is the .Document, that is the HTML source code. We can apply some queries to get the Collections or Object we want.
For example the IE.Document.GetElementsByTagName('title')(0).innerHtml. GetElementsByTagName returns a Collection of HTML Elements, that have the 'title' tag. There is only one such tag in the source code. The Collection is 0-based. So to get the first element we add (0). Now, in our case, we want only the innerHtml (a String), not the Element Object itself. So we specify the property we want.

To follow a link on a site, we can use multiple methods:

Microsoft HTML Object Library or IE Best friend

To get the most out of the HTML that gets loaded into the IE, you can (or should) use another Library, i.e. Microsoft HTML Object Library. More about this in another example.

IE Main issues

The main issue with IE is verifying that the page is done loading and is ready to be interacted with. The Do While... Loop helps, but is not reliable.

Also, using IE just to scrape HTML content is OVERKILL. Why? Because the Browser is meant for browsing, i.e. displaying the web page with all the CSS, JavaScripts, Pictures, Popups, etc. If you only need the raw data, consider different approach. E.g. using XML HTTPRequest. More about this in another example.
