Thanks!
The idea behind Excel development is to primarily use VBA for 
automating tasks. Any command line can be run to execute external 
programs, but further automation code is required to manipulate as 
desired. Not much different than automating IE, IMO.

The sample I linked to demos using the WebBrowser as well as using pure 
VB[A] so the differences are exposed; -the major one being the speed of 
using an API/VB is orders of magnitude faster than automating!
