I know that it's possible to run an instance of Internet Explorer from within the script itself and be able to control it, but is there a way to control an already existing instance of it?

The closest I've been able to come to this is to use WshShell.AppActivate to give it the focus and WshShell.Sendkeys for control, but that does not allow for using other methods of more direct control as well as the .Busy property, which I want to use for a delay loop (far better than a constant delay to wait for page load).

Thanks for the help.
