If I understand the concept correctly, the term "Object Browser" really seems like a misnomer for something that would be more aptly named a "Class Browser".

Thanks, Paul, that's very helpful to know. Now you've given me a reason to install VB6. Bearing in mind that I know virtually nothing about VB, can you suggest the easiest possible way to replicate the sort of simple IE test I described? Also I wonder if this means I will need to uninstall and reinstall VFP6 + SP5 and VFP 7 + SP1, since I never included VB6 in my original Visual Studio 6.0 installation for VFP6. I'm not looking for any extra hassles, but I have a sneaking suspicion that these additional steps might be required.
