I am curious if anyone has collected any resources (or knows where I can find them) that detail how VBA searches and parses the web. I have read posts, visited microsoft's development resource center and read articles on how specific tasks may be accomplished using internet controls and Microsoft's HTML object library, but each of them do it a different way and don't explain the other elements that may be used for other tasks. While I am certain I will not use the majority of controls that are offered in the library, I would like to read a comprehensive description to know and understand what I could use should an issue or project arise that could utilize these elements. I also want to learn how and why the same task may be accomplished in different ways.
As a quick background, I consider myself an intermediate VBA programmer. I also know in general how to read and understand HTML (although I would not be able to recreate a page from a blank slate). I do not know how VBA processes web data, nor do I know how the reference library works or how to find out how to use elements from a resource in the reference library.
Thank you for your help.
