I have been searching all over the internet to find a way to get the text
from and send text to a text box on a webpage in Internet Explorer using
Visual Basic. I know there is a way to do it because I have a program that
does close to what I want to do. The problem is, I do not have the source
code for this program. I have tried using the FindWindowEx API command. The
problem with that is that the whole webpage has a class of Internet
Explorer_Server. I cannot get any deeper than that. I need a way to actually
acces text boxes and combo boxes on the webpage.

Any help would be so much appreciated....

thanks,

John
