Internet Explorer 8 Automation

[dgs2001]

Hi All

Can anyone tell me why IE8 returns an automation error - the server disconnected from its client. with this code :-

Code: Select all

Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    With ie
        .Visible = True
        .navigate "https://reg.racingpost.com/modal_dialog/login.sd"
        Do Until (.ReadyState = 4 And Not .Busy): DoEvents: Loop


It works fine with IE7 (which I have now gone back to.)

No idea. If it helps I can confirm your code works on my PC with IE8. Does it happen every time or is it intermittent? I sometimes have a weird problem in IE8 when I open a new tab and cannot open any pages, it could be a related issue.

Also have you isolated which statement it fails on? If it's the CreateObject statement then the server it is talking about is internet explorer, not the website which was my initial thought. If this is the case then it may be worth re-installing IE8 as the COM server may not be installed correctly.

Thanks for trying.
So far it seems to happen every time, and also happens on my laptop which is why I thought it might be an IE8 thing.

The statement highlighted is the

Code: Select all

Do Until (.ReadyState = 4 And Not .Busy): DoEvents: Loop


My only other thought is something to do with protected mode as I have the Racing Post site set to open outside Protected Mode.
I will trawl the net and other forums to see what else I may be able to find out.

Hmmm

Interesting
I just tried again on my laptop and I get a different error.

Run-time Error '-2147467259 (80004005)

Automation Error
Unspecified Error

however on clicking Debug it is the same line which is highlighted

Do Until (.Readystate =4 And Not .Busy)

Is there anyone using IE9 and finding problems?
