Excel UserForm. Click Button to open explorer and go to URL within a text box

**stevefisher85** · 02-19-2016, 05:27 AM

Hello,

Wondering if anyone can help me? I have a UserForm that contains a number of text boxes. One of those text boxes contains a URL. I want to find a way I can either double click the text box, or click a command button, which will open Internet Explorer and navigate to the URL contained within the textbox.

I have searched and found the below code which people say is working for them but is bugging for me at the .HyperlinkAddress = Me!txtURL line

Private Sub cmdGo_Click()

    Dim ctl As CommandButton

    Set ctl = Me!cmdGo

     If Len(ctl & vbNullString) > 0 Then

         With ctl

             .HyperlinkAddress = Me!txtURL

             .Hyperlink.Follow

         End With

     End If

End Sub

Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks

Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

Apologies. At time of post, this forum actually stopped working. I think that may explain the second entry from me on this same forum. Thanks for the heads up

I'm not referring to another post on this forum, you've posted this question on other forums - 'tis against the rules without including a link to those other places

**stevefisher85** · 02-19-2016, 06:07 AM

No, I was agreeing with you. Link in the original post

Apologies for the mix up

Ah gotcha, sorted now, p.s in future please include all the links - MrExcel is missing. Glad you got it sorted
