>From VBScript/WSH I creat an IE window for outputting script status. Problem
is, my script calls other script and I want to output script status from
those scripts into the same IE window. How do I bind to the IE instance from
a script which did not originally create the IE application?

Here is the code I created to start the original IE application window in
script a.vbs...

Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Set objDoc = objIE.Document

objIE.Navigate "about:blank"
objIE.Visible = TRUE
objIE.RegisterAsBrowser = TRUE

Do While (objIE.Busy)
Loop

objDoc.Writeln "<html><head><title>My Project " &_
                        WScript.ScriptName & " Status" &_
                        "</title></head><body bgcolor='white'>"

objDoc.Writeln "<font face=Arial size=1>" &_
                        Now & " - </font>" &_
                        "<font face=Verdana size=2><b>" &_
                       WScript.ScriptFullName &_
                       " Script Execution Started" &_
                       "</font></b><br><br>"

Again, I want to bind to this IE instance from, say, b.vbs and output to the
same IE window. Can I do this?

Thanks,
Marty
