Hello:

After many hours searching the web, I found your 2004 Automating Internet Explorer posting on how to download all the hyperlinks from a webpage. Unfortunately, I cannot find the Microsoft Internet Controls Reference. It's no longer supported - from what I can gather.

What else do you suggest?

This is what I am attempting to accomplish:

1. Download links from the main site.
2. Based on key word of physician open the physicians directory page and download list of specialities.
3. Click on each speciality hyperlink which will then take me to a list of doctors. Download this hyperlink list.
4. Then, click on each physician hyperlink and download phyiscian bios in csv or xml format.
5. When done go back to the list of specialities and repeat the process until I have downloaded all of the information.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I used the Code Library in the Office XP Developer edition for a while, but it tended to be unstable and was quite large.
Currently I have a 170 sheet XL workbook with a hyperlinked table of contents and a toolbar button activated list box with all of the sheets listed...
from ADO to XL2007. I can manage to find stuff in it, but a cross reference system of some sort would be nice. It is about 1/2 the size of the Developer
edition Code Library, but still takes it own sweet time to save.
It is not something I want to lose, so a backup is automatically made, when the file is closed, to a separate partition.
Even with the above, it is ofter easier to look in the manila file folders containing code print outs from various programs I've written.
Whatever works for you.

I use the same techniques, although for some time now I've been thinking of getting a "real" tool with better code management capabilities. Now that Dick has put the issue back into my consciousness, I'll check out Dennis's library.

Interesting to hear that there are still some people who don't use any kind of code/snippet library. I couldn't live with mine, but I'm starting to doubt whether I only use the tools I use because I'm used to them.

I use MZ-Tools for snippets, and a Subversion repository for my classes. I realize the latter is an overkill, but all the sources my apps under development and in production are in there, and I can access it from home and work just the same, so it works for me.

How do you guys keep your code libraries?
