Answer 1

Try This:

Set IEObject =  GetObject( ,"InternetExplorer.Application" )

*Notice the comma before "InternetExplorer.Application"

EDIT: Try this:

Dim IE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer

Set IE = GetObject(,"InternetExplorer.Application")

You can also try this:

Dim ShellApp
Set ShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim ShellWindows
Set ShellWindows = ShellApp.Windows()
Dim i
For i = 0 To ShellWindows.Count - 1
    If InStr(ShellWindows.Item(i).FullName, "iexplore.exe") <> 0 Then
        Set IEObject = ShellWindows.Item(i) 
    End If
Next
IEObject.Navigate2("http://www.google.com")
