Does anyone know...

Does anyone know how to get the current URL that Internet Explorer is at into a VB program? I want to be able at any time have the URL transfered to my program.

I have looked everywhere, please help..

Try this:
Start a new standard EXE project and add a CommandButton to the default form.
Click on Project|References and check the Microsoft Internet Controls checkbox.
Then add the following code:

Private ie As InternetExplorer

Private Sub Form_Load()
    'start IE
    Set ie = New 
    ie.Visible = True
    ie.GoHome
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MsgBox ie.LocationURL
End Sub

When you run this project a new Internet Explorer window is opened. When you click the CommandButton a MsgBox is popped up showing the location.

Good luck!

NEED MORE>>>

I used what you said Joacim, but all that it does is start IE and gives me the address at start up. What I need is at any given time, I be able to get the address from IE, not just at one instance.

Please continue responses, need help!!
Someone has got to know...

I will add more to help clarify...

I am designing a program so when I am surfing the web and I am at a web site that I want to get links from, and store in a file, I just push a button and the program will get the address from IE and then go off on its own and get the HTML, parse out the links and store them in a list box.

This is why I need the current IE's address.
