ExcelBanter - How do I pass info from excel to a hyperlinked explorer page

I'm not sure what you are doing exactly, but this gives an exact answer to
your question using a hyperlink:

Edit the hyperlink address to include the parameters. For example, I added a
hyperlink with Text saying YahooFinance, but made the web address to display
a quote on HSBC: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=0005.HK

If you are trying to do a post and get from a web page and return the
information to excel, it is rather different. Something like this:

'requires a project reference to MS XML4
Dim strURL As String
Dim strParams
Dim vValue as variant
Dim lRandom As Long
Dim oXML As MSXML2.XMLHTTP40

Set oXML = New MSXML2.XMLHTTP40
lRandom = Int(100000 * Rnd)
'I just made this link up so it will not do anything
strParams = "?LastName=Hammond&FirstName=Robin"
strParams = strParams & "&Dummy=" & cstr(lRandom)
strURL = "http://someweb.com"
oXML.Open "GET", strURL, False
oXML.setRequestHeader "cache-control", "no-cache"
oXML.setRequestHeader "pragma", "no-cache"
'send the information
oXML.Send
vValue = oXML.responseText
'do something with vValue if it is valid here
