Is there a way to read the text off a webpage using VBA? For example I am using a macro to "sendkeys" (I know not the most efficient method) to Internet Explorer and I want to be able to verify that I am on the correct page before sending the next set of keys. Kind of like error detection/correction.
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Yes there probably is, but it really depends on the site and how the HTML has been written.

Can you post the URL?

By the way you are right about SendKeys - they should be avoided if possible.

Thanks. I thought there might be a generic way. I wasn't after a particular website. I just thought there was some variable that holds the source code and I could search through that for the string I wanted. I'm a novice. :roll: Thanks anyway.
