Active tab ignored by InternetExplorer COM object for IE 8

This is a single web code in code that runs on winform.net 3.5. The code works fine for ie6 or ie8, while ie8 has only one tab open. The problem is that if the user opens a new tab (tab 2,3, etc.) and goes to the website (web form internal to the organization), the following code will be executed, but the COM automation object will return an HTMLDocument for the first tab (tab 1), although tab 2 is the active tab. I cannot find links to IE tab in InternetExplorer or HTMLDocument classes. In fact, the IE COM automation documentation has very little documentation on IE tabs.
