When controlling IE from excel I am unable to select 'OK' for a login screen
I get when entering a intranet page. Any suggestion as to why send keys
won't work. I am guessing that I need to set the focus to that window before
I use the send key command. Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Don't use SendKeys to send commands to IE, rather, make a connection the the
Microsoft Internet Explorer Object progrmattically. You can then use the
Document Object Model to send info. to text boxes and click links and buttons.

Following is code you could include in a module

Dim ie As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer

Set ie = New InternetExplorer

ie.Navigate "http://IntranetSite" 'Set the address of your Intranet site
ie.Visible = True

You can then use the ie.Document collection to pass information to Text
Boxes and click links and buttons

I would like to do this but I don't know the name of the document to select
the 'OK' button. When right clicking I cannot view source because it is a
log in screen. Any suggestions
