Hi,

I have a name and address form. The user wants to verify the member's
address, so I put in a button that I want to create a IExplorer window for a
URL. This works great, but it creates a new Iexporer window each time. And
the use has to close that window each time.

I would like to
a. re-use my IExplorer window for each address look up
b. Close the IExplorer window from within my app when they are done. This
would be done by either the use clicking on a button or my form being closed.

Any suggestions. I've been researching this for about a week and while I've
found bit of it (like how to close an IExplorer window given it handle, but
not how to get the handle), I've not found all of the pieces. Any
suggestions?

Dennis

Hi,

I've found an article by Doug Steele on his web site that discusses how to
use the Microsoft Web Web Browser Active X control. However, everything I've
read says stay away from the Active X controls as they are problematic.
