I wish to build a script command to login to an electronic court filing website.  When I build the command starting with either the statement AppBringUp "IXPLORE" or AppSwapWith "IEXPLORE" it starts two instances of Internet Explorer, and succeeding statements fail to fire.  It happens if I create the command in KnowBrainer or in Command Browser.  It also happens when I use the KnowBrainer command Goto <website>, although occasionally when Internet Explorer is already open, that/those command(s) will function properly.

 Any ideas what is wrong?

Is there a way to invoke Internet Explorer without using those statements/commands?

If you are using the Professional version, try

 AppBringUp "url" 

 Using the exact url you want to go to, including the http prefix.  Works for me without opening a new version.

Excellent idea.  Thanks.

Bizarre.  That brings up two instances also.  Must be some bug in my machine.

Internet explorer is a little touchy. In theory and on most systems when you use AppSwapWith "IEXPLORE" it should simply call up Internet Explorer whether it's open or not but AppBringUp will always open another instance of the program.

The KnowBrainer Go To <website> command should also be changed to help prevent a 2nd instance of Internet Explorer from occurring. Just add Wait 10 to the 1st line as pictured below:

Note that this doesn't work on every system and if it doesn't work now, it may work fine after you reboot and vice versa .

The following may work for you depending on your computer system and operating system. It works great for my XP Home system. I don't think it works with Vista.

You can try two methods to bypass/substitute AppBringUp and/or AppSwapWith. One is if the program is not open yet, and the other is if it's already open.

HeardWord "open","Internet","Explorer"

HeardWord "switch","to","Internet","Explorer"

For the "open" command, depending on the application, you may need to install a shortcut on the Start Menu or the Desktop.

Here is my command for Jump <website> which is similar to the one being discussed:

HeardWord "switch","to","Mozilla","Firefox"
Wait 500
SendSystemKeys "{Ctrl+t}{Ctrl+l}"
if _arg1 = "KB" then SendKeys "http://knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forum/"
if _arg1 = "no-brainer" then SendKeys "www.knowbrainer.com/"
SendKeys "{Enter}"

You can replace or edit the SendSystemKeys line above with SendKeys for faster actuation.

The SendSystemKeys line above is for Firefox; you can use the following for IE6/7 address bar focus instead:

SendKeys "{Alt+d}"

EDIT#1: corrected misspelling in command

EDIT#2: This forum always erases brackets <> when I edit--probably HTML hocus pocus. Had to re-add them in to command name.
