    <p>Struggling to find a solution to this one. From Visual Basic (VBA in Excel more specifically) I'm able to call an Internet Explorer window by title using</p> <pre><code>AppActivate ("My Page Title - Windows Internet Explorer") </code></pre> <p>And it works great each time.</p> <p>I can open a new window and send a url to it using..</p> <pre><code>Dim ie As Object Set ie = New InternetExplorer ie.Visible = True ie.Navigate "http://websiteurl" </code></pre> <p>And that also works okay But it opens a new browser each time and I want it to always calls the same window. </p> <p>So can i Set <code>ie</code> to equal the same page each time. So instead of </p> <pre><code>Set ie = New InternetExplorer </code></pre> <p>It does something like</p> <pre><code>Set ie = ACTIVE InternetExplorer </code></pre> <p>(though that doesn't seem to exist). Is there some way of setting <code>ie</code> to be the same as <code>AppActivate ("My Page Title - Internet Explorer")</code> ?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Full Code here:</p> <pre><code>Sub Find_Recordings() Dim MyAppID, ReturnValue AppActivate ("My Page Title - Windows Internet Explorer") SendKeys ("^a") Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01")) SendKeys ("^c") Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01")) AppActivate ("Microsoft Excel") Sheets("DataSearcher").Select Range("K1").Select ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="Text", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon: = False Range("A1").Select Dim ie As Object Set ie = New InternetExplorer ie.Visible = True ie.Navigate "http://wwwmyurl" Do Until ie.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE Loop ie.Document.getElementById("searchdata1").Value = Range("J1") ie.Document.getElementById("library").Value = "RECORDINGS" ie.Document.searchform.Submit End Sub </code></pre>

    1. COCan you use the MSXML object to post directly to the website and skip the automation altogether - this would be much faster

    2. COI'm not familiar with that. Is that front end or back end? I'm restricted to front end I'm afraid. Just want the macro to copy what a user can do manually, but faster. Cheers

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
