I am having a similar issue... but dont see an answer to it in your reply.

I also have a program in Excel vba which needs to open a browser like:

Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With ie
.Visible = True
.navigate "https://www.example.com"
Do Until .readyState = 4: DoEvents: Loop ....................

 

The problem is that the code ALWAYS opens IE11. How can I have the code open Edge instead? what will happen after June 22 when IE gets deprecated?

jkrafka Were you able to find a solution for this? I'm also encountering the same issue.

    iampacman Did you find a solution to this? Thanks.

    Update: I found a solution, this worked for me it automatically selects edge.

    loIE = createobject("shell.application")

    loIE.ShellExecute(mcheck)

    It didn't like the last part so I removed: loIE.visible = .t.
