Hi again
A couple of weeks ago I asked if there was a command to refresh a web page on a local drive As I gave very little detail I don't think that anybody understood my request :( I will now try to clarify Using Excel 2002 on Vista Purpose: The program puts certain details on a sheet which is published as a local web page and, using Extended Desk-top, is projected onto a large screen The detail on the sheet is frequently updated and the wish is for the projected page to update (refresh) automatically. Currently the user has to go to the page and press F5 I will describe the full set of relevant code 'I have a function to launch a web page using IE: Public Browser As Object Function OpenBrowser(tmpURL) Set Browser = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") Browser.Navigate (tmpURL) Browser.Addressbar = False Browser.StatusBar = False Browser.Toolbar = False Browser.MenuBar = False Browser.Visible = True Browser.Resizable = True End Function 'I then start the program opening IE with the specified web page : Dim WebPageDirectory As String WebPageDirectory = Range("My_Directory") & "\page.htm" 'Using the function called OpenBrowser OpenBrowser WebPageDirectory 'In another routine on a form these lines redraw the page MyAdd = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(NumberTablesRows + 1, NumberTablesColumns + 1)).Address With ActiveWorkbook.PublishObjects.Add(SourceType:=xlSo urceRange, Filename:=Range("My_Directory") & "\page.htm", Sheet:="Venue", Source:=MyAdd, HtmlType:=xlHtmlStatic) .Publish (True) .AutoRepublish = True End With Up to here it all works well At this point I need Excel to refresh the Page.htm with a command using something like (one of) the following : With Browser .Republish .Publish .Refresh End With Unfortunately all of the above commands give me error 91 - "Object variable or With Block variable not set" I wondered whether there is a command that will refresh (F5) the web page? Thanks in advance -- Regards, Peter Bircher Cell : 083 233 1628 Email: |
