Is VBA available for Internet Explorer or Firefox? If so can someone point me to how I activate/install/download it?

VBScript is available for Internet Explorer.

Any idea how I install or activate it? I do not see any UI to it the way I see the UI to VBA in office.

There is no Integrated Development Editor in IE but I think you may use Visual Studio for web pages.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi

Internet Explorer doesnt come with a VBA editor built-in like MS Office products, but it has the facility to be controlled through VBA/VB code just the same.

To use this functionality you call an Internet Explorer "object" from a project you create in VB or one of the ms office VBA ide's. (You can create a vbscript file that runs as a windows script using WSH also (you can create this type of script in notepad).

This object will have properties, methods that you can set call to enable control of the Internet Explorer app.

Try searching for Automating Internet Explorer on google to find out more.

PS Often i use the web browser control to display a webpage - it can be placed on an Access form (oir VB or Ecel etc).

Gary,

Do I not need to be the developer of the web page to do this?

The real question is: what do you want to do ?

PHV,

I would like to write a losefocus() or gainfocus() event. I have written an application in VBA for Macola that fires off these events, but the request from a customer was to have this same logic fire from a web interface to the Macola data. I have no way of changing the web interface.
