Embed a webpage using ActiveX on sheet using Chrome

[Krishna Khemraj]

I'm creating a dashboard and need to link to an HTML5 page created by someone else in our company. I've found this on the Tableau forum which works great, but opens in IE. The problem is that the HTML5 page only works for the client in their Google Chrome browser. Does anyone know if the browser can be specified?

1. In Excel 2010 Options, goto Customize Ribbon, and turn the "Developer" tab on.
2. Switch to the Developer Tab, and choose "Insert". In the bottom right-hand corner of the dialog that opens, chooseMore Controls.
3. Scroll down the list, and choose Microsoft Web Browser. Click OK.
4. With your mouse, "draw" the area on the worksheet that you want the control to occupy. When you are done, a big fat Windows icon will occupy that space.
5. Double-click the big fat Windows Icon. A code editor will appear.
6. You'll see two drop-down boxes at the top of this window. Something like "WebBrowser1", and "StatusTextChange". Choose the second drop-down box (StatusTextChange), and select "Activate".
7. Inside the code block that says "Sub WebBrowser1_Activate", type:WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://server/views/workbookname/viewname")
8. Save your changes.

After further investigation, I don't believe choosing the preferred browser is a 'settable' option.
