This is about running Firefox from within Excel 2000 using VBA coding.

I can open a website with Firefox using Excel 2000 VBA with the Shell "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe " & "http:\\www.website.com", vbMaximizedFocus statement. I can then manually press the Tab key several times to get to the Username and Password boxes. However if I use the SendKeys "{TAB}" statement instead, then I get "permission denied" error message. Any suggestions?
