Try setting the Visible and Silent properties of the application object to True. If that does not work, try activating the IE window based on a string contained in its title. Below is a JAWS script function that does this, which you could convert to VBScript. Hope this helps, Jamal Int Function AppActivate(String s_window) Var Object Null, Object o_shell, Int i_return Let o_shell =ObjectCreate("Wscript.Shell") Let i_return =o_shell.AppActivate(s_window) Let o_shell =Null Return i_return EndFunction -----Original Message----- From: program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ian Sharpe Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 4:35 AM To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-l] WSH: Scripting IE Hi All, I've created a little VBScript file that creates an instance of IE6 using WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") and navigates to a URL. This works fine but when I run the script by double clicking the file in Windows Explorer IE appears behind the file Explorer window. Can anyone please tell me which method I can call to bring IE into focus? Or where I can find an IE COM object reference?
