Hi,

I want to have the IE window closed after the script is finished.
Nor the "Set IE = Nothing" nor the "WScript.Quit" would do it.

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
For LoopCtr = 0 to x
  IE.navigate " http://www.*-*-*.com/ "
  IE.visible=1
  Some stuff here
Next

Set IE = Nothing
WScript.Quit

.Visible = 0

Do while objIE.Busy
  ' wait for page to load
Loop

objIE.visible=0
WScript.Quit

Chow,

Marcus

  Hi,

    IE.navigate "http://MyServer.Lambda.be"
    IE.visible=1
    Some stuff here
  Next

  Set IE = Nothing
  WScript.Quit

I didn't think about a .quit. Any insights into why .visible=0 removes all instances from memory? If you do an Ctrl-Alt-Del it's auto-magically gone! Though maybe not forgotten :-)

I don't know if IE or WScript does the work, but if you have no references to an instance of IE, and that instance doesn't have a visible UI, how do you get rid of it? (Yes, I know the task window or process viewers are capable) It's just to prevent a thousand hidden copies of IE from running in the background. It may also have something to do with security.

Thanks to all.

Ian,
Where can I find the .quit ?
I *DID* lookup MSDN for relevant IE methods before posting, found a lot but not the .quit. Any pointer ? I installed MSDN January from DVD, selected all (ouch 1.3 GB). I guess I missed something.

Thanks

  ie.quit

I used the OLE/COM viewer to find the methods.
It comes with VID or you can download it free from
