Continue on with code AFTER window is closed.

Hello I am writing a VBScript file. Essentially it will display some information in a explorer window. After the user clicks the X in the upper right corner to close the window, I would like the program to continue and perform more actions. But I only want the program to continue AFTER they close the window.

Here is just a bit of my code:

Set objExplorer = Wscript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objExplorer.Document.Body.InnerHTML = txt + "<p>Assist Complete. <i>(You may now close this window.)</i>"

So after they close this objExplorer window I want it to continue. Any ideas?

I haven't played with the IE object all that much, but the following worked for me.

Set objExplorer = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objExplorer.Visible = True
objExplorer.ToolBar = False
objExplorer.StatusBar = False
objExplorer.Navigate "about:blank"
objExplorer.Document.Body.InnerHTML = "<p>Assist Complete. <i>(You may now close this window.)</i>"

Do While TypeName(objExplorer) = "IWebBrowser2"
	WScript.Sleep 1000
Loop

WScript.Echo "Window closed...proceed with script"

A more complex but much flexible way is to use a connected object:
