I need help with vba code to be directed to a URL without opening a browser. Having it pointed to the URL is sufficient to get me where I need to be.

"Followhyperlink" will navigate to the URL and open it in a browser. I just don't want a browser to open. I can use the URL in the background.

I hope this is explained well enough.
Thanks, Scott
