WIN32OLE, IE, open an html document..

[Aldric Giacomoni]

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,

Fixed ... I just did ie.navigate "myurl.html" instead and got rid of all
the 'while busy' loops, which were unneeded.
