Browse All TopicsHi, I have a macro in Excel that opens up two instances of Google Maps and takes a few parameters from a spreadsheet to look up addresses on Google Maps. I wrote the code in VBScript earlier, and now that I am using it in VBA it doesn't work quite the way I want.
One issue is that instead of opening up new instances of Internet Explorer to navigate to Google maps, it instead opens up a new tab in my preexisting Internet explorer window and navigates to google maps.

Hi,
Why are you using wshshell to create the ie object?
You could try code like below to create a new instance (for IE1) , and to submit the google search line without using SendKeys
I have added a loop to check that the google map has loaded before proceeding with the code
Cheers
Dave
