I am automating Internet Explorer using VB in order to download a file. I cannot use the DownloadFile function becuase I have to simulate various button clicks and logins before I can get the link to the proper file. When I finally reach the page, I have to emulate clicking a submit button on a form to get the "real" document I want. The problem is the real document is spawed in a new instance of IE, different from the one I am automating.

How can I "Pickup" automation on an IE instance that was created from an instance I created originally?
