Hello everyone GPE! I'm using the following to open Zalo PC to show the window. Currently, I want to change Zalo to Google Chrome.
IE.ShellExecute "chrome:" ' mO chomre but the code does not run. My intention is similar to the code Application.Visible = True to re-display the Excel Interface, but I want to re-display the Google Chomre interface. Please help, thank you very much!

VBA Code:
Sub Openchomre()
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim IE As Object

    Set IE = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    IE.ShellExecute "zalo:" ' Open Google Chrome
    Set IE = Nothing
                
End Sub

Hi,

See if this works for you...

Sub OpenChrome()
Dim chromePath As String
Dim url As String

' Path to Google Chrome executable
chromePath = "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

' URL or website you want to open
url = "Google"

' Use Shell function to open Chrome with the URL
Shell chromePath & " -url " & url, vbNormalFocus
End Sub
