Ok, that's what I thought.
This is the deal. You probably can't populate the text box on a web page from Access.
(Someone may know how, but odds are it will take more code than you will want to have
to deal with.
Alternatively, if the page exposes querystring arguments, as the Google pages do, your
URL that is passed to the FollowHyperlink command can pass the needed parameters.
Below is a link to a google search on the word "yadda". Notice the querystring args.
http://www.google.com/hws/search?q=yadda&hl=en&client=dell-usuk&channel=us-smb
To create an Access form to search google for a word (or words) I would write the
following VBA code behind a form with a text box and command button. In fact, I did
do this code and it does work.
Private Sub cmdGoogleIt_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Dim strURL As String
Dim strParam As String
Dim strQuery As String
strURL = "
http://www.google.com/hws/search?q="
strParam = Me!txtSearchText
strQuery = "&hl=en&client=dell-usuk&channel=us-smb"
strURL = strURL & strParam & strQuery
Application.FollowHyperlink strURL
End Sub
