Why is this code not working ?
 

When I press the CommandButton1 (an 'Active x' control button on the worksheet page) it says 'Sub missing' and a yellow arrow points to the
first line. -
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


Sub GetHorses()
Dim IE As Object
Dim doc As Object
Dim divRunners As Object
Dim divHorse As Object
Dim divCard As Object
Dim tblRaceHeader As Object
Dim elmt As Object
Dim lnk As Object
Dim strURL As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range

strURL = "http://www.racingpost.com/horses2/ca...ate=2011-06-20"

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With IE

.navigate strURL

Do While .Busy: DoEvents: Loop
Do While .ReadyState < 4: DoEvents: Loop

.Visible = True

Set ws = Worksheets.Add

Set rng = ws.Range("A1")

Set doc = IE.Document

' this small table has the stat headers

Set tblRaceHeader = doc.getelementbyid("lc_cardHead")

GetTableData tblRaceHeader, rng

ws.Range("B1").Insert xlShiftToRight

ws.Range("B1") = "FORM"

Set rng = rng.Offset(1)

Set divRunners = doc.getelementbyid("lc_sortBlock")

Set divRunners = divRunners.getelementsbytagname("DIV")

For Each divHorse In divRunners

If divHorse.classname = "cardItem" Then

For Each elmt In divHorse.all

Select Case elmt.tagname

Case "TABLE"

Select Case elmt.classname
Case "cardGl" ' this table has the runners and stats
GetTableData elmt, rng

End Select

Case "P"

End Select
Next elmt
End If
Next divHorse

IE.Quit

Set IE = Nothing

End With

ws.Cells.WrapText = False

ws.Range("A1:J1").EntireColumn.AutoFit

Application.Goto Worksheets(1).Range("A1"), Scroll:=True
End Sub

Can anyone tell me what is amiss ? I copied this code from the internet, but it is meant to work - everybody was saying what a genius the author was.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Simon,

:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


Sub GetHorses()

End Sub

you only have a sub called GetHorses().
Delete the line
Sub GetHorses()
and make sure that the code is in the code module of the sheet in which
the button is.

Hi Claus,
I deleted the line 'Sub Get Horses()' but the program is still not running. There is a yellow arrow still pointing to the first line -
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Maybe it would be an idea if you copied and pasted this into your own Excel, and could troubleshoot from there ?

Did you press F5 after you delete the line? If not then your macro is
still in break mode!
