HMTL Frame Load Status Check

Hey Experts,

I have searched high an low to no avail. Perhaps someone can come up a better soltuion than what I have?

I am accessing a webpage to run a parse of some data for reporting. Everything works great including the .ReadyState and .Busy up to this point. When I click to run the report in the browser (line 2) the page opens my report with the data I need in Frame(0). The issue is that is passes the .Busy status but Frame(0) is not loaded. When I debug I confirm this with a status of "loading".

I tried Do while .document.frames(0).Document.ReadyState <> "completed": Doevents: Loop by iteself and it gives me a runtime error 70 "Access Denied". For some reason the Sleep function gives it just enough time to work.

However, I am not comfortable using the Sleep function since it can be affeted by the network speed of the user. Any ideas on how I can actually check the true state of the Frame to ensure it is completed before setting the Table object?

With oIE
       .Document.Forms("WizForm5").Item("ViewReport").Click
            Do While .Busy: DoEvents: Loop: 
            Do While .Document.frames(0).Document.ReadyState <> "complete": Sleep 500: Loop
       Set Table = .Document.frames(0).Document.Body.parentElement.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")
        For Each Row In Table(12).Rows

If you put content in a frame that is not server from the same server as the primary then you get a security violation because you are not allowed to script cross-domain or reference the document object cross-domain.

The solution is to get rid of the frame and bring content directly into the document using ajax.

Hey Cd,

Thanks for the response. I admittedly do not know anything about ajax or its controls from VBA (if even possible). Anywhere you can suggest where maybe I can get some examples or tutorials on this? I searched through google, but most of the results are vb.net based, not VBA.

I was able to take what Cd had suggested and create an xmlHTTML sweep of the web server. Similar approach to aJAX. Works much quicker and without the interface!
