Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Application.SendKeys "(%{1068})"
was casing the error that was to be in my e-mail area. thanks so much!

I would highly recommend changing your development plan, as Internet Explorer is coming to "end of life" in exactly 2 weeks.

Microsoft replaced IE with Edge.

how would i get it to use edge then? also are terminal server does not have edge installed. but we have chrome and fire fox installed. I use chrome for most things on monitor 1. the firefox on monitor 2. fire fox is slower.

I do not do any interaction with browsers and VBA (especially not "Send Keys"). So I cannot provide much guidance there.
I just wanted to make sure that you didn't end up wasting your time building an application that will be obsolete in two weeks!

thanks so much. found out not hard to have it open Chrome. had to modified code but seems to work. If i knew how to screen shot with out send keys and past in vba i would use that. heck i would love to get it that browser would not have to open but all the code i seen for that only takes tables. but your advise had let me in a direction i was wonting to do. I did not have to install Selinium eather to use chrome.

Thank You!
