how to run IE in silent mode

ilham · Post by **ilham** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 3:59 am

I am testing the macro scheduler 11, and managed to make a script run, it is a loop, everything is ok but each time when the loop repeats the IE window will be active and popup in front which stops me doing other tasks on the computer.
I have searched the forum but no luck, tried -HIDE but not worked.
I have tested on IE6 and IE7.
Please help.

Please show us the script so we can analyze it for you. Make sensitive names/passwords use dummy values.

Depends how you are starting IE. If via VBScript/COM then set IE's visible property to false. If via WebRecorder/IEAuto.DLL then call the ShowIE function and set the visible flag to zero.
