Hi All,

Hopefully someone may have come across this problem, I have a vb 6 form with
webbrowser control (wb)
at form load, wb navigates to a particular page and then should
automatically fill in a form and simulate clicking of the submit button.
I've used this technique before with no problem but for some reason today i
can make it work, it keeps coming back with error 438 : object doesnt
support this property or method and the line it falls over on is the submit
line.  here is a snippet of code.

      wb.Document.Forms("form1").elements("emailaddress").Value = email.Text
      wb.Document.Forms("form1").submit

the form is there, but it just cant see the submit method ? Any Ideas ?

Any advice / words of wisdom appreciated...

I tried your code on my side (VB6+SP4) and it worked fine.

Please try to use the folowing code instead on your side and see if it
works:

With WebBrowser1
        .Document.Forms("form1").elements("text1").Value = email.Text
        .Document.All("form1").submit
End With

JavaScript methods need parens...
       wb.Document.Forms("form1").submit()

I have had this problem myself.  2 things you can try.

1) Most web pages only have one form so send a zero instead of the
name of the form.

   wb.Document.Forms(0).submit

2) Has the document fully loaded?  I usually set a boolean in the
DocumentComplete event and test that before I attempt to fill any
elements or submit anything.
