One more note: this code works on another machine running Win7 64-bit / IE8.
So it seems to be an issue on this machine, but I can't figure out what. All
Add-Ins have been disabled, settings checked, etc. VBScript appears to be
disabled / broken, and I haven't been able to figure out how to re-enable /
fix it.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mayayana. Do you have any suggestions as to what may cause this
or what to try to get it working? I'm kind of at a loss here.

Thank you.

Sorry, but I don't have a copy of any Win64 to test on.
I haven't worked with it to speak of. I can't imagine why
IE32 would act differently from IE64, except maybe in
terms of plugins that might only be installed for one or
the other. If I had to guess I'd say that the problem is
probably elswhere .... a faulty path or some such.

Hello All,

Thank you for your responses. I still have no idea what is happening on
this machine. Has anyone else had any luck?

Kind Regards,

Matt
