I've been trying to write a macro to interact with the following
website:

http://matrix2.itasoftware.com/

I do pretty standard stuff like..

Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

With ie
.Visible = True
.Navigate "http://matrix2.itasoftware.com/"
.Top = 0
.Left = 30
.Height = 400
.Width = 400

to open ie to the webpage, and I use code like...

Set ipf = ie.Document.all.Item("from1")
ipf.Value = depart_arpt
Set ipf = ie.Document.all.Item("to1")
ipf.Value = arrival_arpt

to isert information into the webpage. I can insert my data into all
of the webpage boxes except for the drop-down box to the right of the
phrase "Departing in". I can't figure out how to make a selection in
this box. I've tried code like...

ie.Document.all.Item("dijit_MenuItem_6").Click

but it won't select one of the months available in the drop down
list. Interestingly, if I go and manually click in this webpage box,
and then go back to my paused macro, the above line does work and the
correct month/year appears in the drop down box. Any help on how to
make this selection without having to manually click the box would be
much appreciated...TIA, Ron

Whoops, I should have mentioned that you need to select the "See
calendar of lowest fares" radio button option

ie.Document.all.Item("rt_calendar").Click

in order to see the "departing in" line and drop down box I was
referring to...Ron
