Thanks, Al.

I would like to avoid having a browser window hanging around, hence my quest for a runnable solution. The Navigate method in InternetExplorer object offers a parameter to specify a named window, but I don't want to invoke no other than the default browser, even if the solution only works with a specific one.

But your idea and Yousfi's lead me to think on a proxy URL that is opened instead of the target URL, which would give an environment where some manipulation could be possible. I'll have a look at it and report back.

Thanks again, to both of you.
