Is it possible to create and use a Microsoft Edge variable / object in VBA?

Question

I have some VBA code that pulls stock prices from the web. My code uses an InternetExplorer object / document to do so. However, if possible, I would like to use a Microsoft Edge object / document instead.

In my current code:

1. I initialize an InternetExplorer variable: Dim ie As InternetExplorer

2. Then I create an object: Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

I'm wondering if it is possible to use a Microsoft Edge instead of Internet Explorer object / document in my code. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Unfortunately Edge doesn't have an API VBA can use.

IE will continue to work.

Correction to the answer by destination-data:

IE will continue to work unless you actually uninstall it using windows features. Which was the case for one of my clients and the code that used Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") broke. Be aware!
