The problem seems to be caused by Internet Explorer security settings - when switching between security zones, the current instance of IE is killed and a new instance is created, so your reference to the old process is no longer valid. Some of the suggested solutions were: Change IE security settings. Uncheck "enable protected mode" on the Security tab of Internet Options. Navigate to the IP address directly instead of the URL. This is the one that fixed it for me. For example, ie.navigate "64.233.177.106" (Google's IP address) Set ie = New InternetExplorerMedium instead of New InternetExplorer. Or in your case, vice versa. share|improve this answer answered Mar 30 '15 at 15:15 Elizabeth Fudge 914 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote Instead of Set ie = New InternetExplorerMedium just use Set ie = New InternetExplorer or, for late binding: Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") This makes the error go away. I'm not sure why you would use InternetExplorerMedium in the first place. Quoting the small print in

OFFICE VERSION 2002 - CODE excel automation error ERRORS ON LINE "While ie.busy" - I NEED THIS SECTION AS IT MUST PAUSE WHILE IT FINISHES LOADING! Thanks in advance.... mdmackillop11-06-2008, 01:43 PMIs the code in this (http://vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=818) any help? Demosthine11-06-2008, 01:46 PMGood Afternoon. For starters, to use Intellisense (the little window that pops up with the Properties, Methods, etc.), you have to properly declare your Variable. Once you reference your Library using Tools | References... and enable "Microsoft Internet Controls" (this is C:\Windows\System32\ShDocVw.Dll), you can define a Variable for InternetExplorer. If anything errors once you've changed this, let us know. Scott pundabuyer11-06-2008, 01:52 PMWith all due respect.. that has nothing to do with it! :P But thanks anyway pundabuyer11-06-2008, 02:03 PMThanks Scott, I seem to have the same problem still i have added the dll but intellisense still isn't working and it doesn't like ie.busy still! thanks Demosthine11-06-2008, 02:13 PMHey there. I've attached a Workbook that has the appropriate reference and works perfectly for me. Once the page is completely loaded, it places "HELLO" in the Search Box. Option Explicit Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim ie As InternetExplorer Set ie = New InternetExplorer ie.Visible = True ie.Navigate ("www.google.com (http://www.google.com/)") While ie.busy DoEvents Wend ie.document.all("Q").Value = "HELLO" End Sub Hope this helps.
