In detail my database site user interface have search option if I give name of person with id he have if it matches it shows else throws error. so I needs help & suggestion do I can make a macro using excel that can run bulk contacts validation and give output as true if matches or if not as false. in this way I am thinking or please suggest me is der any other way or script that helps me to do this bulk validation check.

I need to validate person contact with database where I cannot extract details list from db in any format that is constraint so only option I need to type and search contacts and validate so help me how can I automate this validation process. Thanks in advance,........for help and support.

code I tried but this opens website but will not search data:


Private Sub IE_Autiomation()
Dim i As Long
Dim IE As Object
Dim objElement As Object
Dim objCollection As Object

' Create InternetExplorer Object
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

' You can uncoment Next line To see form results
IE.Visible = False

' Send the form data To URL As POST binary request
IE.Navigate "https://brokercheck.finra.org/";

' Statusbar
Application.StatusBar = "www.brokercheck.finra.org is loading. Please wait..."

' Wait while IE loading...
Do While IE.Busy
Application.Wait DateAdd("s", 1, Now)
Loop

'Find 2 input tags:
' 1. Text field
' <input type="text" placeholder = "CRD#" class="ng-pristine ng-valid flex-auto ng-empty ng-touched" name="s" size="24" value="" />
'
' 2. Button
' <input type="submit" class="md-raised md-primary md-hue-2 md-button md-ink-ripple" value="" />

Application.StatusBar = "Search form submission. Please wait..."

Set objCollection = IE.document.getElementsByTagName("input")

i = 0
While i < objCollection.Length
If objCollection(i).Name = "s" Then

' Set text for search
objCollection(i).Value = "excel vba"

Else
If objCollection(i).Type = "submit" And _
objCollection(i).Name = "" Then

' "Search" button is found
Set objElement = objCollection(i)

End If
End If
i = i + 1
Wend
objElement.Click ' click button to search

' Wait while IE re-loading...
Do While IE.Busy
Application.Wait DateAdd("s", 1, Now)
Loop

' Show IE
IE.Visible = True

' Clean up
Set IE = Nothing
Set objElement = Nothing
Set objCollection = Nothing

Application.StatusBar = ""
