I'm only including above summary because I've seen all those workarounds suggested and have personally tried them with no luck so far.Įxample code based on OP's question: Dim IE as Object

Application.wait or sleep causing unnecessary guesstimated delays.

No need to ever check IE.Busy in your code.

Summary of all the things YOU DO NOT NEED with this approach: "Run-time error '-2147023179 (800706b5)': Automation error The interface is unknown" "Run-time error '-2147417848 (80010108)': Automation error The object invoked has disconnected from its clients."

You can stick to late binding if you wish (Dim IE as Object).

Short summary of the BENEFITS this method has over other suggested fixes: Kudos to Dan, without your comment I would've never figured it out! Instead, I suggest to add above code whereever applicable. I want to know what that setting is (my feeling is it is a registry setting).Īfter testing all above suggested fixes and even more, I am positive this is a weird bug with Eventhandling of child Processes invoked by IE whenever there are different security zones on one website.Ĭut to the chase, here is the solution: 'Craziest workaround ever due to bugged IE Eventhandlingĭo While IE.ReadyState = 4: DoEvents: Loopĭo Until IE.ReadyState = 4: DoEvents: LoopĪdd this code piece every time after navigating to a new page or other events that might cause the website to reload, like clicking on a submit button or similar.ĭan above suggested to add DoEvents statements liberally in your code, which did not 100% do the trick for me. There is a setting somewhere on the machine causing this or the refresh would not have an effect.

That takes care of the problem but it also forces the user set their machine up again to the way they had it before and reinstall all of the software and everything. A clean refresh including the operating system. The only way we can solve it is to have IT completely reload everything on the hard drive. In my case I have not found a solution otherwise I would not be asking here. Unfortunately run-time error 70 seems to be a catch all and a lot of users report the error for different symptoms. I have googled and googled and googled and googled. All computers are set up the same way here, same specs, same software. Therefore, it is likely a registry setting on the local machine or something like that. But the same user can use a different computer and everything is fine. What I mean is on the culprit computers nobody can automate no matter which user logs in. It is not a user issue, but a computer issue. Something is causing random people to not be able to automate internet explorer.

We use Windows XP, Internet Explorer 7, and Office 2003. So please do not ask "why do you want to do a goodle search?" and please do not ask "what are you trying to do". This is just a simple example of the problem (we are actually automating much more complex tasks). Running as administrator does not help either. I have tried using CreateObject and all that stuff. I know there are other ways to declare the internet explorer object. It is NOT a timing issue (I still get the error even if I step through manually). This macro works on 9 out of 10 computers. The error states Run-time error 70: 'Permission Denied' IE.document.Forms(0).Submit <- This line results in error. IE.document.getElementsByTagName("Input")(3).Value = "Search Term"
