Can VBScript be used for automation?

Does Microsoft edge work with VBA?

I know the webbrowser component exists in VBA for MS Office 2003/2007, but I couldn't find anything about edge.

As a follow up to Jeff's answer and my comments on his answer, I tested the Microsoft webBrowser 1.1 object - which is built on top of a WinINET 1.1 COM object - for Excel 2023 to 2023. It did not work one machine, but did work on all my others, with the only exception being the 2023.

I tried this by creating a simple userform. Userform has 3 textboxes and a button and the userform code is this: Sub test(). Dim objWB As Object. Set objWB = CreateObject("wininet.webBrowser") With objWB. .Visible = True .Navigate ("") Do While .Busy Application.StatusBar = "Waiting for page to load."
Loop. ActiveSheet.Range("test1").Value = .DocumentText
End With. End Sub. My results are that objWB is still null one machine. (The results were that the userform works fine when run on other machines with the same browser version, but not on this first machine).

I used Cscript.exe to get Watin's version: C:>cscript C:Program FilesWatInwgetlog.txt Wininet Version 0.9.24(r170330) by Microsoft Corporation
That's a version of the WinINET COM object installed on other machines, so I guess the one on this specific machine needs a newer version of WinINET. I'm going to download the latest release of WatIn and retest. If I get the same results, it will be something with the environment that makes that machine differ from others in what was installed.

I am hoping that there is something to be done with the specific machine; it has the same MS Office product installed as my other machines. (Office Pro Plus 2009) So that may need updating? On my other machines, I also noted that there's no "Status Bar" message showing up. This seems to suggest that .

Does VBScript work on Edge?

We've had a lot of complaints that the VBScript control fails to execute on IE 11. Has anyone tried and confirmed the same? I'm not sure if you can do anything but execute Javascript code in Edge, but I could be wrong on that. According to this Microsoft support document, it doesn't work. From that document: I think this means it won't work in all. browsers or all sites. It's up to individual sites whether they use. JavaScript or VBScript. I agree with that. If a site uses client-side scripting, it is the responsibility of the website owner to ensure that the scripting runs properly. That's what that link seems to say as well:

You can't use JavaScript to execute. VBScript using Internet Explorer 8 or. later.

Can VBScript be used for automation?

This is a discussion on ? within the Windows Programming forums, part of the Platform Specific Boards category; Hello everyone. I am new here and I would like to know whether VBScript can be used for automation . If so what are the best practices. I was asked to develop a windows script which will run each day at 8:00 pm to automate some tasks. I have developed some scripts in java using selenium but I am new to windows programming. Could you please let me know if I can use vbscript for this task ?
Re: Can VBScript be used for automation? First, we need to establish some terms and definitions. A VBScript is a text-based scripting language that runs in a Windows environment, using an interpreter written in VBScript. It's an alternative to the Windows Script Host (WSH) -- the scripting language associated with the Windows Script Host.

VBA is a Macro language, also known as Visual Basic for Applications. Macro languages, like VBScript, are run as an interpreter, as opposed to being compiled into an executable file. Macro languages are usually used to do repetitive tasks that could be automated.

There are two types of scripting in VBScript. The first is a User-Defined Function (UDF). UDFs are functions that are defined in a script. They are much like the VBA built-in function, they take input, process it, and return a value to the script. UDFs are always declared before they are used.

The second is a User-Defined Sub. This is just like a macro, except that it takes input, does something to the data, and returns a value to the script. Like a macro, a UDS may be invoked several times.

To write a script, we must learn the following syntax. Code: myVariable=123. Msgbox("This is my number " & myVariable). The variable myVariable is declared and assigned the value 123.

How do I automate Microsoft edge in VBA?

Hello everyone. I have been trying to figure this out for weeks. I have tried using an application object and the automation interface and some other ways, but nothing seems to work for me.

I have a Microsoft Word document with a bunch of links that run macros. They run correctly when I manually run the macro through Microsoft word. The macros have been edited so they execute properly, and the buttons and what not are exactly the same on both the pages I am trying to automate, I even set them as visible, and then unvisible as I see fit.

Here is my simple code: Sub Open(). Dim Doc As Document. Dim wDoc As Object. Set wDoc = CreateObject("Word.Document") With wDoc. .Visible = True .LinkFormat.Open
.PrintoutFileName = "test" End With. End Sub. However, after running this code I get an error: I have tried: making the "wDoc" object global. Creating a new, different word instance to check if the code is running on a different document and it isnt. Adding and removing from invisible/visible. Here is what the button does: On the right side I clicked on an add bookmark button, on the left hand side, I put the name, path, and the macro(this was easy). Any and all help is greatly appreciated! I was using a version of Word which doesn't contain the .AddObject(. Macros, you need to use .AddSpecialContent instead, eg:
