I am scripting the input to an intranet website and am getting stuck at the
clicking submit button - despite trrying code samples from other posts and
boards...

essentially I am taking the value in cell A1, defining it as "base_url", and
navigating to that page. The script pulls in the IE page, waits for the load,
the password is entered successfully, and there's where it all ends where I
am trying to have a 'submit' event happen to the submit button. The button is
not named and everything runs fine up to the point of button click. Password
values pass thru no problem as when I manually click the button it navigates
to the next page...

I have tried, among other things in the code below:
..submit
..click

Sendkeys sequences
End With
..Visible = True
SendKeys "{TAB}", True
SendKeys "~", True


The text in the code:

input type=text name='orderID' value='370732'

is passed from the server upon URL navigation...
Still nothing. I am racking my brain - there's no reason I can think of for
this not to work. The "Click Submit" bolded below is where it hangs...

Thanks MUCH!

Coding below



code from the server:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<FORM ACTION='' method='POST'
<table<tr
<td<bEnter The Server Password: </b</td
<td align=left<input type='password' name='password'</td</tr
<tr
<td<bEnter The Filename</b</td
<td align=left<input type=text name='orderID' value='370732'</td</tr
<tr<td</td<td align=center<input type='Submit' value='Submit'
</td</tr</table
</FORM
</body
</html

--- VB Script ---

Sub process_item()

Sheets("input").Select

base_url = Cells(1, 1).Value


Range("A1").Select

Dim url As String

url = base_url

Dim ie As Object
'Dim document As Object
Set ie = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
With ie
..Visible = True
..Navigate base_url
Do While .ReadyState < 4
DoEvents
Loop

With .document.all
..Password.Value = "password123"
(This is where I hang up)
