    It has 2 names:
    - in the Components dialog it's listed as "Microsoft Internet Controls".
    - in the toolbox tooltip shows "WebBrowser"

    Re: webbrowser not working

    I'm afraid I can't help you with that.
    Are you saying you were able to use it one day and not the following day?
    If so what have you done to your system between two points in time?
    Did you perhaps upgrade your Internet Explorer?
