Selenium Basic VBA focus on new tab that is opened by Click - excel

Question

I'm working on the Selenium Basic Wrapper for Excel VBA, but upon clicking a button that opens a new tab, I am unable to get the selenium web-driver to switch focus onto the new tab that is opened, and to close the original tab.. Believe this should be achievable using the Java Selenium, but is there any way to do it through the Selenium Basic wrapper on excel VBA?
Have tried using bot.switchtopreviouswindow/nextwindow to no avail, Selenium does not even seem to detect the new tab/window opened as an existing window, also tried using switchwindow using title to no avail...
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim bot As New ChromeDriver
Dim merchant As String
Dim promocode As Object
Dim number As Long
Dim test As Object
Dim testnumber As Integer
lastColumn = Sheets("Merchants").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lastColumn
bot.Get (Sheets("Merchants").Range("B" & i).Value)
merchant = Sheets("Merchants").Range("A" & i).Value
For Each promocode In bot.FindElementByClass("main_vouchers").FindElementsByClass("c")
number = Right(promocode.Attribute("id"), 6)
If IsEmpty(promocode) = True Then Exit For
promocode.FindElementByClass("go").Click
#This is the part I have problems with as after click, original page re-directs to another page, and new tab opens (which is the place I want focus on). Also, I need the original tab closed so that Chrome doesn't end up opening too many tabs due to the loop running. Appreciate the help!
Next promocode
Next i
End Sub
Just need Selenium to switch focus onto newly opened tab and for old/original tab to be closed..

Answer 1

The following works for me where you use switchToNextWindow and then you take 1 off the current window count (you might want to check more .windows.count > 1 first), and close that item in windows collection.
You can also .SwitchToWindowByName and .SwitchToWindowByTitle if either of those are known in advance | can be extracted from the current page.
