Did you TRY what I described? or even Ravinder's suggestion of Browser.busy or
Browser.ReadyState?
There are two things:
You SAID that Application.Wait does not work.
When used properly, Application.Wait DOES work, it just might not help in your
case.
The second thing is the infinite loop.
That is completely fixable.
A loop can be broken out of.
The problem is that sometimes, the CPU is taken over with so many commands in
the "stack", it is many cycles before the break/interrupt reaches the top of
the stack!
That's why we put the wait command in there so that it doesn't keep putting
commands into the stack.
In my example, I use the loop to check to see if the file exists and if the
file size is "stable".
That is, as the file is being downloaded, it will continue to get larger, until
the file size does not
change after 5 seconds (perhaps longer depending on download speed)
Once the file exists and seems to be completely downloaded, THEN try to open it.
Trying to open it in every loop and checking for success isn't necessarily
causing an "infinite loop" as much as overloading the CPU with unsuccessful
attempts to open a file, which is just LOADED with CPU activity!
