Hi Everyone,

I am running a macro that in a nutshell Opens Internet Explorer, does Select All and Copy, and then pastes to
cell A1 in a worksheet. It works flawlessly on one PC but hangs up on the Orange highlighted line below on another
PC. Both PC's are running Windows 10 with exactly the same versions of Excel and Internet Explorer!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Code:
Sub IMPORT_HTML()    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro "show.toolbar(""Ribbon"",True)"


 Dim IE As Object
    Sheets("IMPORT_HTML").Visible = True
    'ActiveWindow.DisplayWorkbookTabs = True
    Sheets("IMPORT_HTML").Select
    Sheets("IMPORT_HTML").Cells.Select
    Sheets("IMPORT_HTML").Select
    With Selection
        .WrapText = False
        .Orientation = 0
        .AddIndent = False
        .IndentLevel = 0
        .ShrinkToFit = False
        .ReadingOrder = xlContext
        .MergeCells = False


    End With
    Range("A1:Q1000") = "" ' erase previous data
    Range("A1").Select
    Shell ("C:\Back Office\CLEAR_CLIPBOARD.BAT")
    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    With IE
        .Visible = False
        .navigate "file:///C:/Users/dmgpe/Dropbox/DAILY_SALES_REPORTS/DAY_END.HTML" ' should work for any URL
[B][COLOR=#ff8c00]        Do Until .readyState = 4: DoEvents: Loop[/COLOR][/B]
    End With


    IE.ExecWB 17, 0 '// SelectAll[COLOR=#0000cd][/COLOR]
    IE.ExecWB 12, 2 '// Copy selection
    Sheets("IMPORT_HTML").Select
    Range("A1").Select
    Sheets("IMPORT_HTML").PasteSpecial Format:="HTML", link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False
    Sheets("DASHBOARD").Select
    Range("H3").Select
    Sheets("IMPORT_HTML").Visible = False
    IE.Quit
    'IE.Quit ' just to make sure
    Application.DisplayFullScreen = True
    Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro "show.toolbar(""Ribbon"",False)"
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
   
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Quick Sum
Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
Try checking the Busy property as well...

Code:
    Do While .Busy Or .readyState <> 4 'READYSTATE_COMPLETE
        DoEvents
    Loop

If you're still having problems, you can try pausing the macro for a few seconds as well after the Do While/Loop.

Hi Domenic,

I just figured it out. IE was running in the background. I put a line of code in the beginning of the macro
to make sure it is completely closed.

Thanks for the help!
