Controling Internet Explorer? - basic.visual

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".
