Hi!
I am attempting to copy some tables from a website. The site is secure so I can't share.
I got the table part fine. My problem is there can be 1 or a variable number of tables and to get to them one must click it's corresponding "Show History" .
We could have one Button or ten, who knows?


VBA Code:
Dim iVal As Integer
iVal = bot.FindElementsByXPath("//*[@class='btn btn-primary btn-small margin10-r']").Count

For K = 1 To iVal

szoom = "0.50"                      ' to get everything visible
bot.ExecuteScript ("document.body.style.zoom = '" & szoom & "'")

        bot.FindElementsByXPath("//*[@class='btn btn-primary btn-small margin10-r']")(K).Click           '  <----   k works on the first loop but doesn't work when K=2

'                bot.FindElementsByXPath("//*[@class='btn btn-primary btn-small margin10-r']")(2).Click       <---- this works so I know 2 is correct

I can see in that K is being assigned 2 in the second loop as it's running, but get Runtime Error Index was outside the bounds of the array. If I debug and use 2 in place of the K as illustrated, it works fine.
This is in Chrome, Using Office 365 for windows.
What am I missing?

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Try this version:
VBA Code:
Dim iObj as Object, I as Integer
Set iObj=bot.FindElementsByXPath("//*[@class='btn btn-primary btn-small margin10-r']")
debug.print "iObj count=" & iObj.Count

'see Note*
For I=1 to iObj.Count
    szoom = "0.50"                      ' to get everything visible
    bot.ExecuteScript ("document.body.style.zoom = '" & szoom & "'")
    iObj(I).Click
[CODE=vba]'...
'...

Note*: I don't know if the lines szoom and bot.ExecuteScrip(etc etc are necessary or useful in that position
The line debug.print will write to the "Immediate window" of the vba editor how many objects have been identified with that xpath

I just rewrote your code, cannot comment on how adequate it is to get the correct data
