open ms edge with a specific account

[diegomarino]

you're right, this is my sub

Private Sub Linkedin_Click()

Shell ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe https://www.facebook.com --profile-directory= Profile 1")


End Sub

i get no error, but nothing at all, it does nothing

[diegomarino]

i'll try that too, hoping no new profile

Not with the profile, as it keeps telling me it cannot find it?, without, Yes, works fine.
I do not use Edge, so no idea what my profile should be. I googled the location, which is buried in Appdata\Local, but that is about it.

O/P needs to do some work surely?

We have another member here who flounced off to AWF and asked the same question, as they did not want to do any of the work themselves,
Was offered some amendment to the code they found, then complained it did not compile. Not prepared to do any work themself, even when offered something to try
Now on my IL on both sites.

I am not going to set up Edge just to get this working. I never use it, so not going to waste my time.

Edit: Just got it working with Profile 2 ?

shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe www.bbc.co.uk --profile-directory=Profile 2")

Removed space from in front of Profile 2

There is an odd thing about the profile that I read somewhere. It can be reported as Profile 2 when it is really something else - some sort of disconnect between the folder name and the profile name, methinks. That's why you have to read the edge://version page.

There's nothing to "set up" re Edge - it's just there. I don't use it either, as a rule.
@diegomarino - suggest you solve this in stages: get Edge to open up from your code. At least then you know you have the right path to the application.

[Welshgasman]

No, when it opened, I hovered over the pic icon, and that showed Profile 2. I also have a Profile 1.
So no space should be after the = for the profile argument.

THAT'S IT!

Shell ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe " & Me.Linkedin & "  --profile-directory=""Profile 1""")

Tested with two different "linkedin", i opened the profile 2 edge and it gets me to profile 1 to the correct url!! thanks!
