Win7 / IE9 / InternetExplorer.Application.Quit

Are there any known problems with the combination of Win7, IE9, and using the InternetExplorer.Application object?

I have a VBA macro that uses the object to open a website, log in, grab some data, and then calls the .Quit on the InternetExplorer.Application object.

9 / 10 times it all works fine. However occasionally IE9 seems to freeze mid-quit. The VBA macro hangs as it calls the .Quit, but IE9 doesn't close.
On IE9 the page content disappears from view, but the IE9 application is still visible, and it will sit there indefinitly.

Clicking the 'Refresh' button in IE9 will remind it that it is supposed to be closing, and it will then close and the VBA macro carries on fine. Manually closing IE9 has the same effect.

So, firstly, is there a known problem, or should I be doing anything in particular with IE9 that I didn't need to do on other IE versions?
Is there some way I can call the .Quit, but effectively NOT wait for IE to actually quit, (perhaps so I can go on and run some code to check if IE is still there, and if so send a refresh... or something....)

Thanks!

Guess I'm on my own then!

Is there any alternative to using the InternetExplorer.Application object? ie. some other way to access the HTML content of a page and interact with it?

Thanks

I have never used the ".Application".

Although, I admit, now that I tested it with ".Application" in the code, it does not hang. But, at least here is one thing you can try. Hope it works for you.
