Automation error (loss of reference after IE.Navigate method)

[ferrets6]

VBA-Web/authenticators/GoogleAuthenticator.cls

Line 135 in 73c8884

Set auth_IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

Using an early binding with
Dim auth_IE As InternetExplorerMedium
and
Set auth_IE = New InternetExplorerMedium
solves the problem, at least for me (IE 11, Window 10)

But then the VBA projects needs the reference to Microsoft Internet Controls (ieframe.dll)

Hope It helps!

Does Set auth_IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorerMedium.Application") also work for you as late binding?

[ferrets6]

No, it doesn't.
But according to this post we can use

Set auth_IE = GetObject("new:{D5E8041D-920F-45e9-B8FB-B1DEB82C6E5E}")

That works, for me!

EDIT:
here the full explanation.

I would normally be hesitant to hard-code a GUID like that in, but it looks like a pretty reliable source. I have a few changes to make in the GoogleAuthenticator, I'll wrap this in then.

@ferrets6 I just wanted to thank you for your input and posting the solution. This solved the issue that I was struggling with for a few hours.
Works for me on IE11, Windows 10.
