Ctrl+F4, as in Ryan's solution, closes an active tab. To close another (inactive) tab you can use:

Aliases.Browser.MyPage.Close
' or
Aliases.Browser.Page("http://example.com").Close

    I have a similar issue. I need to close a tab in IE 11 that contains a PDF doc. As you know IE tabs sometimes behave differently. I tried to apply a VBScript Routine:

     

    function CloseIETabWithCaption(Caption)


    dim tabs, tmpTab, found, windowCaption
    tabs = Aliases.browser.BrowserWindow.commandbar.tabband.ChildCount
    for i=1 to tabs-1
    Aliases.browser.BrowserWindow.commandbar.tabband.Child(i).WaitProperty Exists,true,1000
    windowCaption = Aliases.browser.BrowserWindow.WndCaption
    found = aqObject.CompareProperty(windowCaption, cmpContains, Caption)

    if found then
    Aliases.browser.BrowserWindow.commandbar.tabband.Child(i).Close()

    end if
    next
    end function

     

    However sometimes the code closes a wrong tab.

    And if I open this PDF in more than one tab, it closes only one.

     

    Please help me with a better solution for this issue.
