I'm new to this, but I'm practising, and it seemed to me that logging into my Institute's website ought to be the easiest thing in the world. Right? Well, it's driving me crazy.
Specifically, the program fails at page.Document.getElementById("edit-name").Value = 1234
Run time error 424 "object required"
Also, and I'm not sure if this is related, when I type "page." the VBA editor helpfully provides a list of options, and I select Document. When I type the second "." to get "page.Document." I do not then get a further list of options.
Here's the complete program, and thanks for any help
Public Sub MyLogin()
'This uses early binding
'In menu at top of page - Tools...Reference.... Microsoft Internet Controls and Microsoft HTML Object Library must both be ticked
Dim page As InternetExplorer
Set page = New InternetExplorer
page.Visible = True
Dim MyLink As Object
'Login at Institute website
page.Navigate "http://www.actuaries.org.uk/"
Do While page.Busy Or page.ReadyState <> 4
DoEvents
Loop
For Each MyLink In page.Document.Links
If InStr(MyLink.href, "/user") Then MyLink.Click: Exit For
Next MyLink
Do While page.Busy Or page.ReadyState <> 4
DoEvents
Loop
'Are now at the login page
'Enter username, password and click
page.Document.getElementById("edit-name").Value = 1234
page.Document.getElementById("edit-pass").Value = "01/01/1977"
page.Document.getElementById("edit-submit").Click
End Sub
Specifically, the program fails at page.Document.getElementById("edit-name").Value = 1234
Nothing wrong with that line.
One reason that I can think of is that your For
Loop is not executed. To avoid that, directly navigate to the relevant url
. This trimmed version works for me.
Sub Sample()
Dim sUrl As String: sUrl = "https://www.actuaries.org.uk/user"
Dim ie As Object
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Visible = True
ie.navigate sUrl
Do While ie.readystate <> 4: DoEvents: Loop
ie.Document.getElementById("edit-name").Value = 1234
End Sub
