First of all complements on the Wrapper plugin for vba. It works great for me. 
But I have a question.

Firefox is started with the VBA command selenium.start "firefox"
but when I change it to selenium.Start "IE" is does not work.
Is it possible to start chrome or IE with this VBA command and what do I need 
to do to make this work?

On the site of Selenium there is a lot of info but I am sure how all this 
information compares to VBA. There are no example on selenium and VBA only your 
Wrapper. 

Greetings Roger

There's an example on how to select a browser on the home page :
https://code.google.com/p/selenium-vba/#Select_the_browser_to_work_with

For IE you may have to initialize the zooming and security policy as described 
here:
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver#Required_Configura
tion

Once the selenium.start command is executed, a black window shows up and the IE 
browser is launched. If it's not the case, it could be that :
 - IE is not installed
 - Your IE version is 64bit and you are trying to use the 32bit version.
 - An external program is blocking the launching (firewall, spyware...)
 - IE set-up doesn't match the zooming/security requirements.
 - There's a bug in this wrapper and i will require additional information to investigate this issue.

I hope this will help.
