    For me, Microsoft Internet Controls is C:\Windows\System32\shdocvw.dll, not the one you say.  As for the dll name specifically, I have never heard of it.  From a quick Google search, it seems that this comes with IE 7 for Windows XP SP2??   If you have access to it, then go ahead and reinstall IE7.

    dude, nothing got 'fixed'... You're just using the same functions you were, but you are using them from a diferent .dll, which happens to be a deprecated one, if you upgraded to IE7, you should use the API from the newer files. You know, this is so much the vb-er attitude that we vb-ers need to get rid off.

    looks like you were a naughty person and tried out the IE7Beta from a leak... j/k


    Make sure you stick to shdocvw.dll as DrNo suggested..

    Hi,


    I am trying to use Microsoft Internet controls (shdocvw.dll) after having installed ie7, and I am having big problems.


    I seem to be getting


    runtime error -2 (fffffffe)
    runtime error -1 (ffffffff)


    For Example


    'insert a webbrowser control call it web


    private sub command1_click()
    web.navigate2("about:blank")
    end sub


    The above leads to an error.


    xxANTMANxx you said you got it working. Would you be able to elaborate?


    Much appreciated

    Hi,

    I have similar problem on my development machine after installing IE7 version 7.0.57.0.6

    I have a project using Microsoft Internet Controls which is also refereing the ieframe.dll/1. Now after installing IE7 I can not use nor access this dll from a VB project even from a complete empty new project. I am getting an error message saying :

    File not found: 'C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll\1'

    Please Help!!!!

    Hi,

    The IE7 install seems to muck up this control. You need to Browse for shdocvw.dll (which will be in the same directory) and use this instead of ieframe.dll this is what 'Microsoft Internet Controls' should be pointing to in the Component dialog.

    I have also had the 'Run Time Error -2(ffffffe)' using Navigate function but not every time.

    Also see:

    They recommend a reinstall of IE7.

    My programs Error Message from one of my ERROR Traps was:

    ERROR CODE= 713     DESCRIPTION: Class not registered.




    Looking for object with CLSID:{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}

    This is essentially how I got notified of the same issue and then when I went to the key that is mentioned above in the registry I found that when MS IE 7 was installed they put "ieframe.dll" into that call so I replaced it with "shdocvw.dll" and that fixed my problem.

    Keep in mind a reinstall did NOT work for me and trying to reassociate the"shdocvw.dll" using regsvr32 or going into VB and reaassociating the file through that programs component interface did NOT work either.

    Also if you have not done so when you update your windows media player if you are using the old one in your VB program you will need to re-register your "msdxm.ocx" for it to work as well.

    Don't you just love Microsoft and the associated updates don't they ever test this stuff in a real world situation!?!?!?! ;)

    The easiest way to fix this is to uninstall IE7! For some strange reason (probably the fact that Microsoft made it) it doesn't register the new dll in the VB components list, so you're stuck with 'ieframe.dll' which doesn't actually exist. I had this experience with the beta of IE7, but the easiest (and most portable) way to work is to create the application on a computer which has IE6.

    I had to come back and pass on that the only reason that I wound up with this problem was because someone else decided that I needed the new IE 7 on my computer not that I updated it myself as I would not have since I don't use IE in any shape or form unless I have to... I use Firefox.

    I had been creating my application on an IE 6 machine until someone else decided that I needed to be updated NOT that I updated myself.

    pcmattman is correct that the best solution is to create the application on an IE 6 machine (which is what I was doing) but when someone else does you a favor you wouldn't even have done for yourself you need to go with the flow and fix the problem accordingly. So, for you pcmattman I say DUH and for the rest of you my solution still stands...

    The only way to know is to test it. Find a friend with IE6 and try it out.

    Hey,

     

    I got .Net and VB6 both installed on my system with IE7 and I am getting this same run-time error -2 (fffffffe).

    I have checked inside references and my internet control is pointed to SHDocVW.dll which sounds right. I dont know why i'm still getting the error.

    Anyone got any ideas?

     

    Cheers

    Hey no need to reinstall IE7 or undo back to IE6,

    I think i have the best solution to get rid of
    run-time error '-1 (ffffffff)

    Here the best step,

    1. Don't use ieframe.dll ! buggy !!!!
    Browse your Project -> Components  search for shdocvw.dll in you c:\windows\system32

    2. Save your project

    3. Exit your microsoft visual basic

    4. copy below and paste this to your notepad.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}]
