Open Webpage in Excel

B

Brian B.

I have created a couple macros that open internet webpages in Excel
and analyze the content of the page but for some reason the webpage no
longer loads on the worksheet and I am getting the html code.

The code to open the webpage in Excel is very straight forward:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="http://www.google.com" '[example]

The top line of the information loaded in the worksheet is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html><head>

Any help getting the actual webpage to load in Excel would be greatly
appreciated (I am assuming I need to add a reference or change a
simple setting).

Thanks,
-Brian

Not sure why this is happening to you because I get the webpage in the
worksheet. (Tested in versions 9 thru 12)

I am using Excel 2007 and this hasn't happened before so its
incredibly frustrating. Any thoughts on any settings that I need to
change/update or references I need to add?

My XL2007 is pretty much 'right out of the box' so I don't know what
settings could be in play here. -Sorry!
