Advance VBA

[uiqbal92]

Hi,

Thank you in advance for your support!
I basically have 800 rows of data that has links to different websites. What I'm looking for is some VBA code that would allow me to either fetch a screenshot of each of the website or maybe open the website for 3 seconds in a browser window so that I can note what I'm looking for. I've been through a lot of forums but have been unable to find anything that helps me do this so far.

Thanks,
Umar

the code below will scan your list, SCANWEBS...(adjust the cell columns to match yours)
gets the web site, opens it, and awaits your response for the note. You could also screen print and save it in a folder.
then put the path of the image in a cell (on the record)

The macro OpenNativeApp works on anything.
OpenNativeApp sURL 'opens in internet explorer
OpenNativeApp "c:\myfile.xls" 'opens in excel
etc...

Hey thanks for the swift response but unfortunately it's not working. My Excel is now stuck in fact.
