Copy excel cell to webform (search box) and press enter
Hello,
To make my job easier i was looking for a way to safe time doing what i do. Right now i copy tracking code from cell A1 - paste it in google.com press enter - and review the info that's displayed. I have to do each cell A1 to A200~ like this and have to review each info separately. Can i some way speed up this process like for example, i would only need to click the cell A1(hyperlinked) - webpage loads to google.com - cell data copied in field and auto pressed enter? How can i achieve this? Any help is appreciated as i have no clue what so ever on this subject. Thanks. |

You have to view the source of the Google webpage to see what the element IDs are for what you use to paste the tracking code into, and what button to click to start the search. Replace the element names in the example code with what you find your webpage uses. -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |

I found this on the search result for vbforums.com. My understanding is
that it returns the 1st search result... ="http://www.google.com/search?q="&A1&"%22&btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky" ...where A1 contains the search criteria. I suspect, though, that you can convert this from a formula to a hyperlink that opens the search results page in your web browser...

Well hey, nice to know this but would have been better if this was stated up front. In this case, revert to using the same code you found subject to my suggested approach regarding the element IDs for using it. -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |

FYI
My website reads this info from the url and processes it 'behind-the-scenes' to hidden elements on the target webpage. The code you found will work so long as you know the element IDs! -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |

The tracking# is located inside the macro, what i would want is for me to highlight a cell in excel and then run the macro, so that the tracking# from that cell is pasted into the websites form. |
