Tracy, I just discovered a reference that I find quite helpful. The HTML DOM Objects section at http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_document.asp.
After playing with and studying your code I have several questions: 1. The line loIE = oForm.oIE appears to make a copy of the object. In other testing I have come to suspect that loIE more like an alias and that when oForm goes away, loIE is no longer available. Is this correct? 2. Your code lets me see the IE screen but does not allow resizing or user interaction. I suspect that I will end up needing to manually login to at least one of the sites and then let the automation take over. Is there a way to allow user interaction with IE directly? 3. I don't understand the function of the allowoutput = .f. line. I changed it to .t. thinking it might let me resize and interact with the session but there was no change. 4. The init procedure in the oleIE class seems like it might control the size of the IE window. Changing the values has no effect. Does the procedure need to be called to have an effect or is it automatically run when the object is created? 5. Finally - I have not been able to figure out what terminates the IE session. (In the other code I have been working with there is a loIE.quit line.)
