Controling Internet Explorer?

[Oldbitcollector]

I'm a still new to visual basic, and I've hit a problem
I can't find a workaround for.

I'm attempting to open and close an Internet Explorer window
using visual basic 6. I've got the open working properly,
but for some reason, I can't close the browser when I'm finished with
it.

Here's the code I'm using for opening and closing
=============== =============== =============== ========

'setup for web popups
Dim oIE
Set oIE = CreateObject("I nternetExplorer .Application")

' Open a URL upon command %
If Left$(CurrentCo mmandString, 1) = "%" Then
oIE.Visible = True
oIE.navigate Mid$(CurrentCom mandString, 2, T - 2)

' Close the Internet Explorer window upon command
ElseIf Left$(CurrentCo mmandString, 2) = "@%" Then
oIE.Quit
oIE.Visible = False

Endif
=============== =============== =============== =========

I've tried oIE.Quit, oIE.Visible=Fal se nothing works,
unless I place the commands right after the open routine.

Can anyone assist?

IE.Quit works in script. Maybe you're calling it
before the instance is fully instantiated?

Two thoughts:

1) Don't create an IE instance until you know
that you'll need it. That's a lot of work going on
behind the scenes only to dump it if your string
isn't valid.

2) Use a WebBrowser control on a form instead
of creating IE. A WB is actually an IE window and
uses the IE object methods, but you've got better
control of it. (Get a WB into your toolbox by setting
a reference to "Microsoft Internet Controls".
