Excel. VBA. Using the FSO (File System Object) in VB6 | Visual Basic 6 (VB6) - Nightly. The File System Object (FSO) object model provides an object-based tool for working with folders and files. Using "object.method" syntax, it exposes a comprehensive set of properties and methods to perform file system operations such as creating, moving, deleting, and providing information about folders and files. The FSO also provides methods for reading and writing sequential text files, however it does NOT have methods for processing binary or random files. The FSO is (or should be) used primarily with VBScript. VBScript is a scripting language used with ASP for web development; VBScript is also used for Windows scripting.

(Windows scripting files, which have a ".vbs" extension, can be thought of as a modern-day replacement for the MS-DOS "BAT" files used in the days of yore). VBScript is a pared-down version of Visual Basic, and as such does not have all of the functionality of "VB proper". There are some trade-offs in using the FSO with Visual Basic.

But sometimes it's necessary to access them from your Excel Application (or Word or any other MS Office Application). And it's easier than you probably think. To make the following code work, you'll need to include the "Microsoft Internet Controls" library in your VBA references first.Go to your Visual Basic Editor, Menu Tools -> References... and select the entry "Microsoft Internet Controls".

If you can't find it in the list of available references, search for a file named shdocvw.dll, usually to be found in your Windows directory, subfolder System32. Alternatively, you can skip the referencing and use late binding, defining the pointer to the Internet Explorer instance as Object instead of SHDocVw.InternetExplorer in your VBA code.

Before you can do anything with the Internet Explorer, of course you'll need one, and you'll need something to address it. Navigate Internet Explorer using VBA. There are certainly a lot of questions out there about the internet and VBA. I use internet explorer quite often with VBA to navigate and perform other various automation tasks. This thread will hopefully give you the basics of navigating the internet with IE through VBA code. Which browser do I use to read webpage source code? They're making it easier to read through stuff, but I would recommend using Firefox to read source code. It is formatted in a very friendly way and you can find data very easily.

IE8 has been modified greatly for web developers, and it is probably better for readability and navigation now than Firefox is. First thing to know is how to open IE in Access.
