Hello Everyone! I'm glad I found this group - I'm new to programming in VBS andVB and I am working on a project for work. Utizlizing VBS in IBM PCOMM Terminal emulator. I have a peice of code that I need some help with....

   Set IE = createobject("InternetExplorer.Application")
  IE.Visible = True
  IE.Navigate "about:blank"

I can get the website to load but trying to figure out if I can target the window it opens in and if it can open in that window each time?? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Carl O.

Is it s specific web page (intranet) or something like that?

The following will open ID and go to the website.

IE.Navigate "http://www.visualbasicscript.com"

Sam:

THanks for the reply - I got that part ok....my IE session will open and pop the correct page. What I am trying to do is have the page open in the same browser window each time. I want it to check and see if a browser window is already open (title something) and then if so open in that window if not open new browers....hope I'm making it clear. THanks for the help.

You could add an InStr to the name where it looks for "Internet Explorer". That should work for all versions of IE.
