Welcome to Eileen's Lounge!

The current version of the web browser control is based on Internet Explorer. Microsoft is phasing out Internet Explorer, and more and more websites don't work correctly in Internet Explorer anymore; that might explain the problems you experience.

The new Chromium Edge-based WebView2 control does not work in Office applications (at the moment, at least).
Best wishes,
Hans

Unfortunately, I am not aware of a solution for this problem at the moment. Hopefully, Microsoft will release a new web browser control that works in Office applications in the not too distant future. Sorry!

As an alternative, you could place a hyperlink to a website on your form...
Best wishes,
Hans
