WebBrowser control - ADVANCED - GURUS - HELP Please

[LARB]

Afternoon,

Firstly, I have extensively researched Google before I posted this question.

I am using the WebBrowser control on a form.

Firstly I point to a blank URL

myBrowser.Navigate "about:blank"

when I change the URL to say

myBrowser.Navigate "www.nytimes.com"

I receive an error "Method 'Navigate' of object 'IWebBrowser2' failed".

Please, does anyone know how to get around this error when changing the URL path ?

Thanks

Pete

It worked for me, using a userform in Excel 2000 on Win98SE. You might try
putting the http in front the URL or using Navigate2. Oddly, the TypeName
of my web browser control is WebBrowser, not IWebBrowser2, but I'm not sure
why there's a difference. Here's the code I used

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Me.WebBrowser1.Navigate "about:blank"

Me.WebBrowser1.Navigate "www.nytimes.com"

Debug.Print TypeName(Me.WebBrowser1)
End Sub
