Is the real problem that an Internet explorer application launching a new
internet explorer window as a child?

No. I'm using excel/vba to fill web forms. The problem is when the IE
window loses it's active status(by user clicking on another window, the
filling is redirected to the other window.

I went back to one of your older posting. The advise you got was wrong

doc.getElementById("txtInput").focus
or
doc.getElementsByName("txtInput")(1).focus


Don't use focus. Create a new variable for the objects

set txinput = doc.getElementById("txtInput")

Then use txinput as the reference to the object. Then you won't have to
worry about the focus.

Joel,

Oh man.......I hope this works. If it does I will owe you a beer or
something.

Thanks.

Joel,

My advice was not wrong - it answered the question asked: how to give an
element the focus, without using sendkeys.

If the OP had mentioned they intended to use sendkeys to enter data I would
have advised them not to.
