Ruby 1.8.6, Windows XP, IE6 and 7: I think the following code SHOULD open a document but I get an error instead.. list is the string which is stored into the HTML document (I'm good with variable naming). File.open('c:/EmailGroups.html', 'w') { |f| f << list } ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application') ie.Application.stop while ie.Busy do end ie.Visible = true while ie.Busy do end puts "c:/EmailGroups.html" if File.exist?('EmailGroups.html' ) url = "c:/EmailGroups.html" ie.Document.URL = url while ie.Busy do end ________ And here is the error: init.rb:116:in `method_missing': (WIN32OLERuntimeError) OLE error code:80070005 in htmlfile Access is denied. HRESULT error code:0x80020009 Exception occurred. from init.rb:116 Line 116 is : ie.Document.URL = url. Any help .. will be very appreciated :) Thank you, --Aldric
