the following code navigates to the USPS zip code web site, then enters a
zip code in the appropriate box, then clicks on submit.

You will have to view the source code of the web page to determine the
actual names of the controls/items.

Sub test()
Dim IE
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.navigate "http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/lookup_ctystzip.html"
IE.Visible = True
While IE.Busy
DoEvents
Wend

Set ipf = IE.document.all.Item("FormsEditField1")
ipf.Value = "12345" 'fill in the text box
Set ipf = IE.document.all.Item("FormsButton1")
ipf.Click 'click the submit button
IE.Quit
End Sub

Hi,


I have a list in excel that needs to be inserted in a browser textbox then
press the button "Submit".

what is the best way to automate this? I heard about sendkeys but then I
heard that it should be only used if it is the last resource. ?

at the other hand I was playing with the webbrowser control in excel which
I
was able to get it working but I dont know how to navigate that way I need
it.

this is what I need to do.

got to the intranet site.
then tab 12 times
click on the checkbox
then tab 3 more times
then press the "submit" button.

then tab 2 more times again, then enter the numbers and so on.


I've been doing this manually and is hell. Please help.


thanks,

Cesar
