Hi Andy, I was following your lecture 47 on web scraping.  I am pretty certain the first time i ran it everthing worked fine however now i keep getting a runtime error 13 type mismatch  on the following line :

 Set HTMLDoc = IE.Document

I have tried both excel 2010 & 2016, and get the same problem. Here is the code:

Option Explicit
Sub BrowseTo()
Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim HTMLDoc As New MSHTML.HTMLDocument
IE.Visible = True
IE.Navigate ("http://x-rates.com")
Do While IE.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
Loop
Debug.Print IE.Document, HTMLDoc     'produces output:  [object HTMLDocument]       [object]
Set HTMLDoc = IE.Document
End Sub

In debug mode if I hover the mouse over IE.Document it displays:

<The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable> usually in excel 2016 it displays <Automation error The interface is unknown> or the first message.

This problem is driving me nuts as the code is so simple, but just will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Axel
