I am trying to enumurate through all the open IE winodows to find out
a window with a specific title. once found brows a new url into it.
It works fine for one instance but after navigating I am getting an
object reference error on line

EnumChildWindows((int)myAl , chldCallBack, 0);

Can any one help on it ?

Why not use automation to get all running instances of IE? The
following KB article shows how to connect to all running instances:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/176792

It's in VB6, but you can easily adapt this code for .NET.

Hope this helps.
