IEAttach: cant connect to an IE instance

[sdfg4545]

I have used IEAttach many times before, even within the script I am editting now. I am moving the script to a new machine and testing it. On the new machine, I can no longer attach to IE.

The window I want to attach to pops up after a successful login in a parent window.

These are my attempts, they dont work:

$oIE_ReportSelection = _IEAttach("Home Page - Windows Internet Explorer")

$oIE_ReportSelection = _IEAttach("Home Page")

$oIE_ReportSelection = _IEAttach("[REGEXPTITLE:(?i)Home Page]", "WindowTitle")

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("Home Page - Windows Internet Explorer")

$oIE_ReportSelection = _IEAttach($hWnd, "hwnd")

Maybe the title is wrong.

Title IE7 : 'Windows Internet Explorer'

Title IE6 : 'Microsoft Internet Explorer'

Lokks like the same on the first view, but it isn't .

What is different about new machine (adding to reply above)? Vista perhaps? If so, look at the helpfile for _IECreate remarks or upgrade to IE8.

If the link of the window is always the same you can try :

$oIE_ReportSelection = _IEAttach("www.google.com","url")

Works for me on Vista,XP,2000 and IE6,7,8

Problem resolved.

DaleHohm: I looked at IECreate, it told me to add 'embedded' (even though it is a distinct window), that worked. Thanks.
