Automation error using CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
I'm using the following code in VBA:
Dim IE As Object
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExpl
I've also tried:
Dim IE As Object
Set IE = New InternetExplorerMedium
I always finish with:
IE.Quit
Set IE = Nothing
But I randomly get an "Automation Error" (usually is fine except for about 1 quarter of the time):
Run-time error '-2147023706 (8000704a6)':
Automation error
A system shutdown has already been scheduled.
Seems like IE is not closing properly sometimes.

Big Monty
silly question, but have you rebooted since getting the error?
ASKER
Rebooting or waiting a few minutes seems to always work. But I'm using this frequently so that's only a temp solution. Seems to have something to do with the object or process still running enough though it shouldn't be?
