Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 9 Beta Automation?

[zizzerboy]

Hello everyone,

I am running Windows 7, Excel 2007. I recently installed Internet Explorer 9 beta (which by the way is BEATIFUL!! Death to all taskbars!!!).

But alas, some code of mine that used to work in Windows XP, Internet Explorer 7 simply does not work. Here is some example of some of the code:

Sub GoogleImages()
Set ie = New InternetExplorer
Dim link As Object
ie.Navigate "[URL]http://google.com[/URL]"
Do While ie.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
    DoEvents
Loop
...

When stepping through this, the locals window shows:

'No variables' in Document? That is where I get all my stuff! I tried dimming ie as an object instead, no dice.

Anyone else have this problem? Is there any kind of work around? I couldn't find documentation about this anywhere, not even with Google almighty on my side.

I'm hoping/thinking it's just a matter of the internet explorer. If so, I can just revert back to IE8. Any help is appreciated!

UPDATE: I downgraded back to IE8, and everything was working again (well, not perfectly; IE8 seems to catch more 'items' on certain webpages than IE7 does). So it seems the problem is purely IE9, which of course is still in beta testing.

Still, if anyone has a solution using IE9, I would prefer that.
