Sorry, my mistake in the function.

Set retVal = o

should be:

Set retVal = o.document

Tim:
This appears to work. If I monitor the value of oDoc, the
correct URL does show up. However, when the
set oTable=oDoc.getElementById("abcTab")
statement executes, a VB runtime error #438 occurs:
"object doesnt support this property or method"

Any suggestions on what's wrong?

If you know the URL of the spawned window (look at the source for the form you're submitting)
then you can use the function below.
It will return the document object for the first window it finds with an address "like" the passed URL.
It a window is not found it will return nothing.

dim oDoc, oTable

set oDoc=GetHTMLDocument("htt p://thisistheURL/responsedir/")
if not oDoc is nothing then

set oTable=oDoc.getElementById("abcTab")

end if

I have the following VBA code to launch an IE application, navigate to a URL,
and submit a form.
