Hi Guys,
I use this code to check if IE11 is open or not, If its open, then bring it to front, otherwise open the default IE11 with preset home pages. What the code should be to open it.

VBA Code:
Sub CheckIE7()
    If ProcessIsRunning("iexplore.exe") Then
       MsgBox ("IE's open")
       Call Module9.OpenCurrentIE9
              
        Else
       MsgBox ("IE's closed")
       "WHAT IS THE CODE TO OPEN IE WITH HOME PAGES"
        
    End If
End Sub

Function ProcessIsRunning(strProcess As String)
    Dim objList As Object
    Set objList = GetObject("winmgmts:") _
        .execquery("select * from win32_process where name='" & strProcess & "'")
    If objList.Count > 0 Then
        ProcessIsRunning = True
    Else
        ProcessIsRunning = False
    End If
End Function










Private Declare PtrSafe Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" ( _
   ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long

Private Declare PtrSafe Function SetActiveWindow Lib "user32" ( _
   ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long


Sub OpenCurrentIE9()

    Dim sw As Object, IE As Object
    Set sw = CreateObject("Shell.Application").Windows
    
    For Each IE In sw
        'distinguish Internet Explorer from Windows Explorer
        If InStr(UCase(IE.FullName), "\IEXPLORE.EXE") <> 0 Then
            
            ShowWindow IE.hwnd, 3
            SetActiveWindow IE.hwnd
        End If
       Next
  
End Sub
