Google Chrome

Hi Guys, does anyone know how to open a URL in Google Chrome ?



Dim MyURL as String

MyURL = "https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/"
OpenFile = Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE " & MyURL, vbMaximizedFocus)

Can this be opened in Chrome ??

Kind Regards

Daniel Pineault has some code to do this https://www.devhut.net/2018/02/01/vb...irefox-chrome/

However if you are trying to do this in an ActiveX web browser control I think you won't have any success - I believe that opens using IE only whatever you try

Is Chrome set as your default browser? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...owser-with-vba

Hi Guys, this worked thank you all for your replies

Dim stAppName As String, MyURL As String
Dim stPathName As String


stAppName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
stFilePath = "https://Filename on webpage"
OpenFile = Shell("C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe " & stFilePath, vbMaximizedFocus)

If you're creating a variable for the app path, why not use it?
OpenFile = Shell(stAppName " & stFilePath, vbMaximizedFocus) or similar?

Thanks for posting the solution!
