How can I get Internet Explorer object?

[billwagnon]

I know how to get Word and Excel objects, but what is the object reference to get Internet Explorer?

Hi,
Go to project properties and click on components. There check the internet controls
That's all.

Thanks

To get the Excel application I use:

Set XLobj = GetObject("Excel.Application")

What do you use as the handle for Internet Explorer? Also, does ZOrder work with Internet Explorer?

anyone? anyone? Bueller?

Sure thing. Add a reference to Microsoft Internet Controls (DLL's name: shdocvw.dll), the try something like this:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim ie As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
    
    ie.Navigate "www.microsoft.com"
    ie.Visible = True
End Sub
