Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site ... Operation aborted

Hello all. I am getting the following error intermittently:

Code:
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site ...  Operation aborted.

I have a report that opens in a separate window, and this report goes through a recordset to populate multiple timecards. When the error occurs, it will begin to populate the page, then the error occurs, and when I click OK, the page comes up with "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

The thing is that this error doesn't happen all the time. As I said, this is a report that opens up in a separate window, and if it does open correctly, I can refresh the page forever with no problems, but if I close the window and generate the report again, sometimes it works and sometimes I get the error.

Can anyone give any assistance in this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Parallon
 
Perhaps there is a more informative error message that is being obscured by Internet Explorer. Try this:
1. Click "Tools" on the menu bar.
2. Choose "Internet Options" from the dropdown menu. This will cause the Internet Options window to appear.
3. Choose the "Advanced" tab in the top right corner of the window.
4. Clear the check box next to "Show friendly HTTP error messages"
5. Click OK to close the window.


This will not fix the problem but it may allow you to get a better description of what exactly went wrong.

If all of the input is the same and sometimes it works and other times it doesnt then maybe something is timing out?
 
Well, I have been reading a lot of articles about scripts trying to populate tables before the body has fully loaded (mostly referring to Google Maps though), and I had one script at the very end of my </Body> tag, so I have just moved it outside now and am seeing what happens.

Will be back if this doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,

Parallon
