How to invoke browser without using OR - alpha1 - 07-20-2015

Hi,
I wanted to know if we can simply open a browser without first recording it, I wrote

Code:
Browser("IE").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").Click

Also, I tried below code,

Code:
SystemUtil.Run "iexplore", "www.google.com"

With Browser("Internet Explorer").Page("Google")

  .WebButton("Google Search").Click

End With

Or, Simply

Code:
Browser("Internet Explorer").OpenNewTab

In all above cases I get error that "Internet Explorer" object not found in repository & find a correct name of object"

So, what to write in place of "Internet Explorer" in all three above cases. Attached is screenshot of result.

Thanks for help!!

Use Descriptive programming approach if you donot want to use Object Repository. For browser go for ordinal identifier "creation time" for identifying the same.
For browser it is

Code:
Browser("creationtime:=0")

Hi,
Thanks for replying, I tried simple code below

Code:
Browser("creation time:=0").OpenNewTab

However got error that browser object cant be identified. Pls see error in screenshot attached.
So, is there no way to start/invoke browser without first having it in OR.

thnx for help

My bad...there is no space between creation and time.Try this.

Code:
Browser("creationtime:=0").Highlight
