That means that your $ie variable is nil. Which in turn means that you haven't successfully started a browser.
You should have a line like: $ie = Watir::Browser.new This line starts the browser and connects it to $ie variable for you to use. The open() method may be used instead, I believe. If the webmetrics recorder has not been updated to Watir 1.6 then the line might read: $ie = Watir::IE.new If this is the case you will either need to downgrade Watir or modify the script. If you are still having difficulties, it would be helpful to see your script code.
