Hi Walter,
The work done by the object instance happens in its own separate
procedure from the procedure using the object. So your instantiation
procedure is a reusable utility that your business logic code uses to
process its data, or retrieve data for the business logic code to
process. IOW, it's a 2-way street in terms of how data flows. So...

Dim oIE As Object
Sub GetDataFormIE(<datacontainer,<other args if any)
Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
'//load datacontainer as required
Set oIE = Nothing
End Sub

Optionally:
Dim vIE
Sub GetDataFormIE(<datacontainer,<other args if any)
Set vIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
'//load datacontainer as required
Set vIE = Empty
End Sub

...where your caller procedure will process the contents of
datacontainer. If there's no data then IE didn't give it up; -so check
how you load datacontainer above...

Sub DoThis()
Dim vData
Call GetDataFormIE(vData)
'//process vData
End Sub
