How about this?

It opens IE to the page you specify then waits 5 seconds and refreshes using the CTRL+F5 method and repeats refresh 2 more times.

Let me know if this works for you.

Set ie = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
ie.Navigate "http://www.google.com"
ie.Visible = True
 
For i = 1 To 3
	WScript.Echo i
	WScript.Sleep(5000)
	ie.Refresh2(3)
Next

Open in new window

Can this be put in vbscript? Will this actually invoke IE an dbring it up or in the background?

I ran it, I see that it invokes IE. Also I want to close the IE after it hits it. What is the best way to do it. Also is there a way to hit the URL without invoking IE?

Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.
