Default Open browser from excel

from Posts by Jake Marx

If you go to the VBE and select Tools | References, look for Microsoft
Internet Controls and check the box next to it. That will allow Excel to
use the necessary library for the code to work as written.

Sub test23()
Dim ie As InternetExplorer

Set ie = New InternetExplorer

ie.Navigate URL:="http://www.longhead.com/"

Do While ie.Busy Or Not ie.ReadyState = _
READYSTATE_COMPLETE
DoEvents
Loop

MsgBox ie.Document.body.innertext

ie.Quit
Set ie = Nothing
End Sub
