Thanks for this video Shane. I am working on a similar implementation but using Display to call the new display and then Invoke to open the webpage as an alternative.

Im stuck where im trying to enter the username and password to the camera i am trying to display automatically. How can i do that using VBA when the web page is opened on the new display?
