I'm running crazy on this, why doesn't example two work?
VBA Code:
 Dim oShell As Object
 Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
 oShell.Run ("https://www.google.com/search?q=yeah")

VBA Code:
 Dim oShell As Object
 stringit = "yeah"
 Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
 oShell.Run "(" & Chr(34) & "https://www.google.com/search?q=" & stringit & Chr(34) & ")"
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Try:
VBA Code:
 oShell.Run (Chr(34) & "https://www.google.com/search?q=" & stringit & Chr(34))

Even this would probably suffice.

VBA Code:
 oShell.Run "https://www.google.com/search?q=" & stringit

Ahh, so simple! So annoying when you just over complicate it.
Both works of course. THANKS!
