Excel creates a new activeX instance every time you run the line: Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") How exactly that works is out of my league, but those references stick around even after you restart excel. After a couple dozen pile up, excel runs out of memory to make more Restart your computer, (probably an easier way, but that worked for me) and then stick the line IE.Quit a

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zones, the current instance of IE is killed and a new instance is created, so your reference to the old process is no longer valid.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 10114 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote Instead of Set ie = New InternetExplorerMedium just use Set ie = New InternetExplorer or
