The macro below enters date/time in col A and then selects col B ready for
me to enter the result of a broadband speed test. The macro has been asigned
to a button on the sheet.
The URL for the broadband test is
http://www.broadbandwatchdog.co.uk/speed-test.php

If the button is hyperlinked to the URL the broadband test is run but the
macro is not.
Can you show me how to incorporate the URL in the macro so both bradband
test is run and the date time entered?

Thank you

Francis Hookham

PS - do tidy the macro - I am sure mine is a bit crude!

Sub Macro1()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
x = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Cells(x, 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=NOW()"
Cells(x, 1).Copy
Cells(x, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Cells(x, 2).Select
End Sub

Hello Francis,

Copy the following code into a standard VBA module. Attach the macro
"GoToSite" to your button.

'<<<Start of Macro code
' This will Launch the default Email program
Private Declare Function ShellExecute _

Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, _
ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Sub GoToSite()

Dim RetVal
Dim URL As String

URL = "http://www.broadbandwatchdog.co.uk.com/speed-test.php"
RetVal = ShellExecute(0&, "open", URL, vbNullString,
vbNullString, vbNormalFocus)

'Did Connection Fail? Errors are from 0 to 32
If RetVal <= 32 Then
Select Case RetVal
Case 2 'SE_ERR_FNF

Wow! That's dipping my toe into waters I never dreamt of.

Thanks very much Leith - it will be very useful to know how to do this in
the future as well as with this particular prob.

Best wishes

Francis
