When browser control placed onto form visually and this form runs, issuing navigate method even for the same local file ( assuming it was refreshed with the new content ) refreshes browser control without any problem. However, in a code below removing and adding subclassed browser control is required , otherwise we are in a loop for readystate. I am aware of CreateObject( "internetexplorer.application" ) which works properly with navigate method without need to instantiate it each time, but I need an alternative way for someone. My main concern is that the method below is very slow.

Thanks
