I have an Active X Microsoft Web Browser control that is used to look up business addresses.

One of the things I look up is Gas Station address, city, phone#, etc.

I build link that looks like (https://www.google.com/q=" & & & &

Since URLS now use + for space, %something-or-other for various characters, I loop through a string to build the URL. This works beautifully. I can navigate to the page with the change of characters - no problem! However, the page seems to load several times. (I have tried different sites, and even mobile.wunderground.com as in the Web Sync Seminar does the same.

I am spitballing here but I imagine there are events on the web form that have to happen in some order that might cause this? Im quite sure that there is an illogical reason, but I don't want to test the illogic of some Microsoft Software Engineer!! HaHa

I hoped that since it loaded 4 times, It surely completes 4 times. My first thought was that if it download begin 4 times, then it surely document complete 4 times.....Nope it doesn't. There also seems to be no correlation with begin/complete events! (I get that it does probably happen, but one event fires on top of the other and heirarchy takes over?!)

So for a simple man, one would think that I could build a time delay into the code! ....Tried it ..... doesn't work either. (It causes the code to track around the document complete event and carries on with other code that has yet to run. This obviously reeks havoc, as the code has to be written around the proper hierarchy to function appropriately.

My first question is; Is there an effective way to pause the execution of code until a specific event is completed? I've tried While/End Loops - Useless, because the events to pause cannot be specified, and it just holds the current process, goes to the next and then forgets to complete the process which created the hold.

Second question, same control! I am sure that I am causing this!... When you originally put the Web Browser Control into the form, it does not have a Go To address, so it appears blank white on the form.

I sometimes get in a hurry and forget to save the changes from the VBA editor, and if the browser has loaded a page, it will default to that page from now on!

Is there a way to remove this default URL address from the code?
