Look at the Simple Web Auto script that comes with the software. Or search the Scripts and Tips forum for InternetExplorer.Application and you will find the best solution.

Try this:

run>C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe "http://www.mjtnet.com"

I used to open IE that way but Marcus explained to me why it is unreliable in this classic thread.

I agree.
Although VB script is more reliable I prefer to use the run command if all I want to do is open a simple web page, for example a button that opens my home page. I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t see any reason to double the size of a compiled script if all I want to do is open my home page. But when you have to mess with filling forms or a page has to be completely loaded, VB script is the way to go, otherwise the run command will do just fine in my experience.
