Hi nivek,

Yes. When the CommandButton "cmdGo" is clicked, the following code will
open an IE window and navigate to the URL entered in the TextBox "txtURL":

Private Sub cmdGo_Click()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler

ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink txtURL.Text

ExitRoutine:
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "Invalid URL. Please try again.", _
vbExclamation, "Invalid URL"
Resume ExitRoutine
End Sub


Enter this code in the code behind the Worksheet which contains your
controls. To do that, just right-click the sheet tab and select View Code,
then copy/paste this code into the code window.
