Ok... it's late and I'm wrecked AND sick... so good bet that I'm making this way harder than I have to, lol. I am currently running a function that I'd picked up here in the threads earlier that allows me to essentially identify all the active windows running on the desktop. What I would like to do is select from this listing an active window and grab the URL address information from it. I have the window handle and name but am unsure how to use this to get URL information that I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance for any help as always it's huge appreciated!

I always makes things much harder than they should be... that way later I can slap myself in the forhead after spending hours and hours on two lines of code and say to myself "DUH!"
 
Uh oh... hehe... does this mean that I'm barking up the wrong tree trying to go about getting IE's URL on an open window?
