VBA / Web Automation / Finding child IE Window:

Hey all,
I am having some trouble getting VBA to focus on the IE child window after a link has been clicked.
The 1st page i have automated like so:

The second page ("https://propaccess.trueautomation.com/clientdb/?cid=53"), if i just render this URL as the strUrl, then I can automate the 2nd page with this:

Where I am totally stuck: I cannot seem to figure out how to get them to work together?? Once the child IE window comes into play, how do i reference it?

Parent WIndow = "http://staging.trueautomation.com/ta/index.php/PropertyAccess_noscript"
Child Window = "https://propaccess.trueautomation.com/clientdb/?cid=53"
Ultimately the Goal Window = "https://propaccess.trueautomation.com/clientdb/SearchResults.aspx"

Any help, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Use IE WithEvents and trap the NewWindow2 event, or loop through Shell.Windows looking for an IE object which matches something in the child window, e.g. URL, location name, or something in the document.body content, etc.
