IE AND GET OBJECT

[athom]

I am trying to use the GetObject Function instead of the CreateObject function because my application supports OLE. I can use the GetObject with Word and Excel because they are the only program that brings up .doc or .xls, but with IE and .html file can be brought up by several classes so I am trying to use GetObject("c:\tmp\test.html","InternetExplorer.Application&quot and this doesn't work.

Thanks

Do this :
1. set IeVar= GetObject ("","InternetExplorer.Application&quot
2. IeVar.Navigate "c:\tmp\test.html"
3. Ievar.Visible=True

For some reason Internet Explorer does not work if the first argument is not an empty string. This way of calling GetObject is the same as using CreateObject.
