If you want to directly manipulate a single instance of IE, probably the best of the available alternatives, since oIE is the object handle to the launched IE instance.

Gee, this looks awfully familiar. Strange what pops off the top of your head at odd hours! This is what I tend to do, since the Windows collection of oShell lets you hook to all running IE instances, and I've almost always got an instance of Shell.Application wallowing in the muck somewhere, since it does lots of other useful stuff.

For those on whom NetScrape is inflicted...but no easy object hook (unless you launch IE, in which case, either of the first two is preferable!)

What, no RUN command example????? < g >
