Hi Andy, I was following your lecture 47 on web scraping. I am pretty certain the first time i ran it everthing worked fine however now i keep getting a runtime error 13 type mismatch on the following line :
Set HTMLDoc = IE.Document
I have tried both excel 2010 & 2016, and get the same problem. Here is the code:
Option Explicit
Sub BrowseTo()
Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim HTMLDoc As New MSHTML.HTMLDocument
IE.Visible = True
IE.Navigate ("http://x-rates.com")
Do While IE.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
Loop
Debug.Print IE.Document, HTMLDoc 'produces output: [object HTMLDocument] [object]
Set HTMLDoc = IE.Document
End Sub
In debug mode if I hover the mouse over IE.Document it displays:
<The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable> usually in excel 2016 it displays <Automation error The interface is unknown> or the first message.
This problem is driving me nuts as the code is so simple, but just will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Axel
