The webpage that I am working with has 60 to 100 menu links on it depending on the users credentials. I use this code to click on the menu link:
Set oapp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
For i = 0 To 25
StrName = ""
On Error Resume Next
StrName = oapp.Windows(i).Document.URL
If InStr(StrName, "mywebaddress.aspx") Then
Set oie = oapp.Windows(i)
Exit For
End If
Next
oie.Document.all("ctl11_repeaterNavigator_ctl32_menuLink").Click
but the link number changes depending on the users credentials - with my credentials _ctl32 can be _ctl32 or _ctl33 on others. is there a way to search for the inner text and store the link ID as a string?
I know I can click on the link by using:
For i = 1 To oie.Document.all.Length
If oie.Document.all.Item(i).innerText = "Letters" Then
oie.Document.all.Item(i).Click
Exit For
End If
Next i
but I need the link id store in a string for the next step
Perhaps try something like this, assuming the link's Name is "Letters" and also assuming that the the prefix "ctl11_repeaterNavigator_" and suffice "_menuLink" will not change for the users.
Dim ele as Variant
Dim parseString as String
'## Determine what ctl to use:'
For each ele in oie.Document.GetElementsByName("Letters") '## Modify to use the Name associated with this menu link '
If Right(ele.InnerHTML,9) = "_menuLink" AND _
Left(ele.InnerHTML, 24) = "ctl11_repeaterNavigator_" Then
ele.Click
Exit For
End If
Next
May have to use ele.InnerText instead of .InnerHTML so if the above doesn't work, try tweaking it a bit.

I need to make barcode label sheets for items. For this I use Excel with VBA and a "user form" to help the user in entering the number and information of bar codes. Once I have all my information for my barcodes, I transfer its information to a Word in which I format it to make printable labels.
My system works fine, although a bit long when there are a large number of labels to transfer, but once word and excel have been closed once when I want to restart the transfers, Word no longer comes to the fore , which makes me completely miss the transfer. I am using the tab key which is the main source of the problem.
I have tried performing the same actions as the tab key with other commands like "next" so that it is no longer a problem. However this does not work entirely because the tab key allows at the end of a page to continue the layouts on a new page which the "next" function does not do.
So my questions are: How can I force Word to come to the fore? Can we replace the tab key with another parameter that allows me to do the same thing?
I provide you below the code of my loop performing the transfer.
Dim appwd As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Object
Dim Code As String, SKU As String, Name As String, Size As String
Dim DerLign As Byte
With Sheets("Reference")
DerLign = .Cells(.Cells.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
End With
On Error Resume Next
Set appwd = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err Then
Set appwd = New Word.Application
End If
On Error GoTo 0
With appwd
If .Documents.Count = 0 Then
.Documents.Add
End If
Set oDoc = .MailingLabel.CreateNewDocument("3474")
.Visible = True
.Activate
' Colle les données dans Word
For i = 8 To DerLign
Code = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Reference").Range("B" & i)
SKU = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Reference").Range("C" & i)
Name = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Reference").Range("D" & i)
Size = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Reference").Range("E" & i)
appwd.Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 1
appwd.Selection.TypeParagraph
appwd.Selection.TypeText Text:=SKU
appwd.Selection.TypeParagraph
appwd.Selection.Font.Name = "Code EAN13"
appwd.Selection.Font.Size = 40
appwd.Selection.TypeText Text:=Code
appwd.Selection.Font.Name = "Calibri"
appwd.Selection.Font.Size = 11
appwd.Selection.TypeParagraph
appwd.Selection.TypeText Text:=Name + " " + Size
SendKeys "{TAB}", False
Next i
End With

I am experimenting with web automation and struggling a bit trying to utilize a drop down list.
My code works up to the point of searching for a company name and hitting "go". On the new page I can't seem to find the right code that selects the group of elements that represents the drop down list. I then want to select "100" entries, but I can't even grab the nodes that represent this list.
I have been browsing multiple different pages on stackoverflow that talk about CSS selectors and looked at tutorials but that doesn't seem to help either. I either end up grabbing nothing, or whatever I grab can't use the getElementsByTagName method, which ultimately I am trying to drill down into the td and select nodes . Not sure what to do with those yet, but I can't even grab them. Thoughts?
(note stopline is just a line that I use a breakpoint on to stop my code)
CSS helper website: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/trysel.asp
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub test()
On Error GoTo ErrHandle
Dim ie As New InternetExplorer
Dim doc As New HTMLDocument
Dim ws As Worksheet

ie.Visible = True
ie.navigate "https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html"

oSearch.Value = "Summit Midstream Partners, LP"
oSearchButton.Click
Do

Loop Until ie.readyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE
Set doc = ie.Document
Set list = doc.querySelectorAll("td select")

Exit Sub
ErrHandle:

td select will return a single node so you only need querySelector. The node has an id so you might as well use the quicker querySelector("#count") to target the parent select. To change the option you can then use SelectedIndex on the parent select, or, target the child option by its value attribute querySelector("[value='100']").Selected = True. You may then need to attach and trigger change/onchange htmlevent to the parent select to register the change.
However, I would simply extract the company CIK from current page then concatenate the count=100 param into the url and .Navigate2 that using following format:
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001549922&type=&dateb=&owner=include&count=100&search_text=
You can extract CIK, after initial search company click and wait for page load, with:
Dim cik As String
cik = ie.document.querySelector("[name=CIK]").value
ie.Navigate2 "https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=" & cik & "&type=&dateb=&owner=include&count=100&search_text="
Given several params are left blank you can likely shorten to:
"https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=" & cik & "&owner=include&count=100"
If you are unable to get the initial parent select you probably need a timed loop waiting for that element to be present after clicking the search button. An example is shown here in a StackOverflow answer.
normally I use an excel chart to upload my data to website. but I realized that in time new additions can be added to a dropdown and unfortunately, i dont know is there anything added or not. So I want to add refresh button to my excel sheet to refresh data inside my excel and get data from website dropdown menu.
below you may find the code in web site. by the way I cannot share the link because it is behind the firewall and credentials. so here is the code
<select name="ddfener" id="ddlfener" tabindex="2" class="normalText">
<option value="0">Select a fener....</option>
<option value="81ca032h">ahmet</option>
<option value="345">mehmet</option>
<option value="123">ayse</option>
I need to download this data like
81ca032h ahmet
345 mehmet
123 ayse
thanks
You have to adjust the macro for the values read out so that they end up in the right places in your Excel table. Everything else is in the comments of the macro:
Sub ReadDropdownValues()

Dim url As String
Dim nodeDropdown As Object
Dim nodesOption As Object

'Initialize Internet Explorer, set visibility,
'call URL and wait until page is fully loaded
'
'This could be problematic on the intranet due to security guidelines
'Set browser = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
'
'Try this instead to initialize the IE
Set browser = GetObject("new:{D5E8041D-920F-45e9-B8FB-B1DEB82C6E5E}")
browser.Visible = False 'Set to 'True' to see the IE
browser.navigate url
Do Until browser.ReadyState = 4: DoEvents: Loop
'Get dropdown html structure
On Error Resume Next
Set nodeDropdown = browser.document.getElementByID("ddlfener")
On Error GoTo 0
'Check if object 'nodeDropdown' was build
If Not nodeDropdown Is Nothing Then

Set nodesOption = nodeDropdown.getElementsByTagName("option")
'Loop through all option tags from, the second one
'(The first one is only the placeholder 'Select a fener....')
For optionTagNo = 1 To nodesOption.Length - 1
'Get the value of the attribute 'value'
result = result & Trim(nodesOption(optionTagNo).getAttribute("value"))
'Insert tab only for demo string
result = result & Chr(9)
'Get dropdown value

I'm trying to operate a website to display desired option chain data with an Excel VBA macro. The website -- CBOE.com -- has an input field for the ticker symbol of the desired option chains. My code has been able to drive that part of the webpage and a default option chain is displayed. It defaults to the most current month that options expire (May 2018 as of this note). From there the user can input other expiration dates for which to have other option chains (for the same symbol) to be retrieved and displayed. This is where my code seems to be breaking down.
Just above the default option chain display is a dropdown input box labeled "Expiration:" where a list of other expiration months can be selected. Once selected, a green Submit button must be clicked to get the specified option chain for the selected expiration month. Alternatively, below the default option chain are explicit filter buttons for expiration months also.
As said, my code gets to the point of specifying the symbol and getting default option chains displayed, but I can't seem to get the dropdown input field for other expiration months to work.
If anyone can see where and how my code is deficient, I'd really appreciate that insight.
Many thanks.

For your code:
These 2 lines change the month and click the view chain (I tested with symbol FLWS). Make sure you have sufficient delays for page to actually have loaded.
mybrowser.document.querySelector("#ContentTop_C002_ddlMonth").Value = "201809"
mybrowser.document.querySelector("#ContentTop_C002_btnFilter").Click
I found the above sketchy for timings when added into your code so I had a quick play with Selenium basic as well. Here is an example with selenium:
Option Explicit
'Tools > references > selenium type library
Public Sub GetMarketData()
Const URL As String = "http://www.cboe.com/delayedquote/quote-table"
Dim d As ChromeDriver, symbol As String
symbol = "FLWS"
Set d = New ChromeDriver
With d
.Start
.Get URL
Dim b As Object, c As Object, keys As New keys
Set b = .FindElementById("ContentTop_C002_txtSymbol")
b.SendKeys symbol
.FindElementById("ContentTop_C002_btnSubmit").Click
Set c = .FindElementById("ContentTop_C002_ddlMonth")
c.Click
c.SendKeys keys.Down 'move one month down
.FindElementById("ContentTop_C002_btnFilter").Click
Stop '<<delete me later
.Quit
End With
End Sub
Try the below approach, in case you wanna stick to IE. I tried to kick out hardcoded delay from the script. It should get you there. Make sure to fill in the text field with the appropriate ticker from the below script before execution.
There you go:
Sub HandleDropDown()
Const url As String = "http://www.cboe.com/delayedquote/quote-table"
Dim IE As New InternetExplorer, Html As HTMLDocument, post As Object, elem As Object
With IE
.Visible = True
.navigate url
While .Busy Or .readyState <> 4: DoEvents: Wend
Set Html = .document
End With
Do: Set post = Html.getElementById("ContentTop_C002_txtSymbol"): DoEvents: Loop While post Is Nothing
post.Value = "tickername" ''make sure to fill in this box with appropriate symbol
Html.getElementById("ContentTop_C002_btnSubmit").Click
Do: Set elem = Html.getElementById("ContentTop_C002_ddlMonth"): DoEvents: Loop While elem Is Nothing
elem.selectedIndex = 2 ''just select the month using it's dropdown order
Html.getElementById("ContentTop_C002_btnFilter").Click
End Sub

I am new to MS Publisher 2010, and I am trying to add a "dynamic" reference to a specific page. Ideally, the visualized text should be something like:
...see the example on page XXX
I would like to make the XXX part visualize the page number of the page I am referring to. I saw that you can place bookmarks in the document, and create hyperlinks to those bookmarks, but so far I could not manage to visualize the page number tied to a bookmark.
To make another example, I would like the equivalent of this Latex expression:
...see the example on page~\pageref{reference-to-XXX}
Would it be possible to obtain this effect in Publisher 2010, maybe using a VB script? Thank you for your help!

Let me know if this helps or if you for some reason need to do it in VBA
Edit:
It is fairly easy to write a macro to refresh links to pages, but links to bookmarks seem to be poorly supported by the object model, unless I've overlooked something. My solution consists of two parts.
First of all, links that should be refreshed are recognised by their display text starting with "page " (LIKE "page *"). The refresh macro simply recognizes those links and changes their display text to page X. However, this doesn't work for links to bookmarks, which in the object model seem to behave like links to pages, except the pageID they refer to does not exist. I spent quite a while trying to figure out what the relationship might be between this non-existent hyperlink and the bookmark, but to no avail. Instead I've created a workaround in which you manually link the hyperlink and the bookmark with a tag object (creating a tag for the bookmark with the value of the non-existent page ID of the hyperlink).
Instructions for normal links to pages
Create a hyperlink to a page. The text of it must begin with ”page ”
(otherwise RefreshReferenceLinks must be edited)
Run C_RefreshReferenceLinks to refresh to check that it worked
Instructions for links to bookmarks (tagging workaround)
Create a bookmark (Insert -> Bookmark)
Create a hyperlink to the Bookmark
Select the hyperlink and run A_GetPageIdOfHyperlink
Select the bookmark and run B_TagBookmarkWithPageId
Run C_RefreshReferenceLinks to refresh to check that it worked
