title: Getting return values from an embedded Internet explorer
body: <p>I know how to open an Internet explorer from within an VBA application. But how to I get "return" values from the running explorer to the VBA application. E.g let us assume I try to access
  <a href="http://page_not_there" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://page_not_there</a> 
  and got back an Error 400</p>
  
  <p>How can I get this value in my VBA Application and act accordingly. Any hints or links or programming examples would be very welcome</p>
  
  <p>Of fine editing is possible. So the order is:
  Information is send, and i get back an HTML string which can be used from within IE to sign a document. Of course for that one has to click a bit around in IE but at the end I get a sort of "feedback" if signing was successfull and I need this "feedback" to know if I can proceed. </p>
  
  <p>I've close my windows boxes so take his with some caution. I start IE like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
  ie.navigate2 "to_where_I_want"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That's all.</p>
  
  <p>I then get a page where  a Java applet is running for signing the URL choosen 
  above ("to_where_I_want") I have  few buttons there and after hitting on signing I have to type in my PIN and then I'M interested in the output of the IE Explorer. </p>
  
  <p>As I understand you post I better create a form with a Web control and use this for browsing and Signing</p>
  
  <p>Regards
