I wonder if anyone can help me. I've been using VB6 for years, but never really had much experience with the IE side of things. My "mission" is to write a program for VB6 that automates a button press on a webpage when ran. I thought this would be simple, but it seems not! This is the code I have so far, thanks to other people's advice: Private Sub Form_Load() Dim oIE As Object, sURL As String sURL = "http://www.rpgtopsites.com/in.php3?list=978316149&site=kingdomrpg" Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") oIE.Visible = True Call oIE.navigate("http://www.rpgtopsites.com/in.php3?list=978316149&site=kingdomrpg") Do Until oIE.LocationURL = sURL And oIE.readyState = 4 DoEvents Loop oIE.document.Form1.submit1.Click End Sub If I try this, the page loads fine ... then I get Error 438, "Object does not support this property or method". So then I changed the second to last line to this: oIE.document.Forms(0).submit This doesn't give me an error - but it also doesn't work. All that happens is that the page loads, but it hasn't actually submitted anything by pressing the button. The code on the actual page that governs the form is as follows: <form action=in.php3 method=post> <input type=hidden name=val1 value="xxxxxxx"> <input type=hidden name=val2 value="xxxxxxx"> <input type=submit name=val3 value="Press the button!"> </form> Am I missing something really elementary here? All that seems to happen when VB6 triggers the "submit" thing is that it loads the in.php3 page, but without having passed anything to it, or so it seems. Is there another way to go about this? -Andy

You would be better of asking that question in the Web Development forum. Stuart

Good point .... can I repost it there, do you think, or will I fall foul of cross-posting?

I don't think so. It is unlikely you are going to get an answer in the XP Forum. A bit to specific to web programing and very little to do with XP. Stuart

Hi, This might help. Do Until oIE.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE Loop Regards Daniel Joseph RAW,Accenture Daniel Joseph,RAW Accenture
