SYMPTOMS
========

When you use multiple Internet Jumps from Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0
Fundamentals, the first instance of Microsoft Internet Explorer isn't recognized
and a second instance will be opened.

WORKAROUND
==========

When the second instance of Internet Explorer is opened from an Internet Jump,
close the first instance of Internet Explorer. If you continue to use Internet
Jumps from Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 Fundamentals, it will use the
running instance of Internet Explorer.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic
5.0 Fundamentals version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
