You can interact with it if you have an interface pointer to it. The problem is that you cannot get a pointer to an IE instance except at the time of creation. This is true for all languages (as far as the ROT mechanism is concerned; I don't know if IE provides a private mechanism to do this). > I can manipulate IE via Win32::Gui/Test - but even VB or C# can't > manipulate a currently running IE via OLE?? thanks!! Mark One mechanism would be to create and install a Browser Helper Object (BHO). They get loaded into each IE instance. You could then register your BHOs with the ROT and gain access that way. You most likely have to implement your BHO in C++ though. Cheers, -Jan
