I have code to copy a website Login ID, then open Chrome and navigate to a website where I can paste my Login ID to log in. After returning to Excel it still has the Login ID range in copy mode and I have to press Escape. If I add Application.CutCopyMode = False after the code that navigates to the website, I lose the Login ID copy.

How can I have Excel pause macro execution until after I return to Excel?

Here is the code I use (modified to be a sample):

Sub ABC_Website_Login()

Dim chromePath As String
Range("LoginID").Copy

chromePath = """C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"""

Shell (chromePath & " -url https://www.somewebsiteIuse.com/login")

'Need some code here to suspend the macro until I return

Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Hi jerry
This will put the .value of the cell straight into the clipboard and not the whole cell meaning no marching ants to get rid of
VBA Code:
Sub ABC_Website_Login()

Dim chromePath As String
Dim CBoard As Object
Set CBoard = CreateObject("HtmlFile")
  CBoard.ParentWindow.ClipboardData.SetData "text", Range("LoginID").Value

chromePath = """C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"""

Shell (chromePath & " -url https://www.somewebsiteIuse.com/login")

End Sub
