Hi Rupen,

Seems ridiculous you have to run your script in IE when you are allowed to schedule it, are you sure you can't convert it to a file run by the windows scripting host?

If not, you could create and InternetExplorer.Application object in a windows script and load your page in that, you wouldn't even need the IE instance to be visible.

HTH,

Chris

Seems appropriate to me to schedule the ASP script to run automatically on the server via Windows Task Scheduler, then you won't need a client-side instance of Explorer to run at all.

Regards,
Rich

And if you must have it as a scheduled asp page then just have a simple script that creates an instance of IE, navigates to the asp page and then closes itself using IE.quit(). Google for InternetExplorer.Application for examples of IE automation.

Or use XmlHttp to request the asp page, then you don't need a browser window at all.

The list is almost endless..

Protected Sub btnClose_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnClose.Click

Response.Write(h {window.open('f,'_parentf,'f); window.opener = self; window.close()}h)
end Sub

this works fine for both FF and IE!

This is something in .net i assume, but i want this in asp...classic asp..
