Back button error on web browser

[Amy B]

Hi everyone,


I'm trying to code a back button in a web browser, but I'm getting a compile error - 'expected end of statement'. Here is the code:

Private Sub cmdBack_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdBack.Click
webBrowser.GoBack
End Sub


The error message highlights the word "Handles." Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Ty for your help.

This is something new to me. How did you figure out that code? Is there a web reference?

Hi June7,

Since you are a moderator, I think it's ok for me to tell you this. I found the code demonstrated in two YouTube videos:
#1:www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jwsltHCqyg
#2:www.youtube.com/watch?v=2njcFb3Dajw
But as I said above, I'm getting an error message. Any idea why?

Hi June7,

I found it demonstrated in two u-tube videos online. I tried to post the links here but it seems to be blocked. As I said, I'm getting an error message when I run the code behind my back button. Any idea why?

Hi, AB
But this is a special code language VB.Net
Not VBA

The links work. I just have frustration trying to view YouTube on my laptop.

Were the tutorials Access specific?

I see azhar already determined the demos are VB.net. VB.net is not directly transferrable to VB or VBA. The web browser control in Access might not be capable of true web navigation. The control has a ControlSource property that determines the web link.

[Amy B]

Darn! I was afraid that the problem might be a VB version issue, but I didn't realize that it was a different (albeit similar) code language! So when you say Access might not be capable of true web navigation, does that mean a back button isn't possible on an Access web browser?

AB

That's what I am seeing.

WebBrowserControl allows displaying web page within Access form as opposed to opening in an external web browser window with FollowHyperlink.

The ControlSource can be set to a table field that has URL links. Navigate the records to change the web page.

Of course each language its own rules
I've explained to you professor June7 Thread

[Amy B]

I think I understand what you are both saying. So if a back button isn't possible, is there a way to refresh or reset the browser without closing and reopening the form? I'm using the browser to display folders on a network. If the user opens a folder, they will sometimes need to go back to open a different folder.

AB

[June7]

That would be setting the ControlSource property. Where are the folder paths coming from?

[Amy B]

The current ControlSource property of the web browser is:

=\\Data\Admin\Library\" & Year([txtClose]) & "\" & [txtLibrary]

...which uses a couple of fields on the form to complete the path.

AB

[June7]

Then the control is dynamic by referencing field from table? The form is bound to the table? Navigate records and the web browser control should reflect the change.

[Amy B]

Yes. The control references a field from the table that the form is bound to. Could you explain "Navigate records and the web browser control should reflect the change"?

AB

I mean exactly that. Use the intrinsic Access record navigation bar at bottom of form to move between records. Data of the current record should be reflected in controls on the form. The web browser control is just another control with a ControlSource, like a textbox.

Can have a custom button and code to replicate this movement between records.
