I seem to be stuck in an weird issue. I have the Excel VBA code below to visit a website and enter a userID (from the userID column A in sheet 1) and retrieve the name of the user which shows up after hitting the submit button then continues with the rest of the userIDs.
Public Sub TEST()
TestPage = "http://test.com/"
Dim IE As New InternetExplorer
Dim Doc As HTMLDocument
Dim GetElem As Object
Dim GetElem2 As Object
IE.Visible = True
IE.navigate TestPage
Do
DoEvents
Loop Until IE.readyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:04"))
Set Doc = IE.document
CurRow = Sheet1.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Do While CurRow > 0
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:4"))
'Find/Get the userID textbox and enter the current userID
For Each GetElem In Doc.getElementsByTagName("input")
If GetElem.ID = "query" Then 'I could just do getElementByID later
GetElem.Value = Sheet1.Range("A" & CurRow).Value
End If
Next
'Find and click the submit button
For Each GetElem2 In Doc.getElementsByTagName("button")
If GetElem2.Type = "submit" Then
GetElem2.Click
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03"))
End If
Next
CurRow = CurRow - 1
Loop
End Sub
The problem is the code works only once. It enters the first userID into the text box and hits Submit. When it loops and tries to enter the next userID though, the code get stuck in a loop.
If I remove the entire 2nd For-Next loop it works (although it doesn't submit, it enters each of the userIDs in the text box).
On top of that, if I use the F8 debugging the code step by step, everything works fine. Only getting problems when fully running the code.:(
Public Sub TEST()
TestPage = "http://test.com/"
Dim IE As New InternetExplorer
Dim Doc As HTMLDocument
Dim GetElem As Object
Dim GetElem2 As Object
IE.Visible = True
IE.navigate TestPage
Do
DoEvents
Loop Until IE.readyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE

Set Doc = IE.document
CurRow = Sheet1.UsedRange.Rows.Count
For Each GetElem In Doc.getElementsByTagName("input")
If GetElem.ID = "query" Then 'I could just do getElementByID later
GetElem.Value = Sheet1.Range("A" & CurRow).Value
For Each GetElem2 In Doc.getElementsByTagName("button")
If GetElem2.Type = "submit" Then
GetElem2.Click
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03"))
End If
Next GetElem2
End If
CurRow = CurRow + 1
Next GetElem

I'm trying next to click a link to view information on a page using VBA to then move on to edit that information with VBA, But trying to figure out how to write the code for it as the ID information changes with each search,
Any ideas on this?
I've looked around and can't seem to understand how to get VBA to pick this line up as the (ID=) and it isn't joined to the same ID as I'm searching for.
There is also serval references for
This is the line of code.

This is my current code to do the search for it. Without clicking on the view section yet.

Edited
I've added in the code I think it should be following that link and a bit of tinkering to get it to not error with compiler errors :D, All seems to work but when it get's to the line to click the link it doesn't fail but doesn't even click it. It will then move on to the next one in the list in the spreed sheet, Which is expected.
Following it through with the debugger that shows nothing erroring or failing which is what I expect it to do if the code was wrong or link,
Any help, please ?

Thank you.
Use a For to check every <a> tag element and make sure you click the right one. It's true your ID changes, but rest of string is constant, so that's 1 factor. Also, it looks like you always will click where it says View so that's another constant.
With both options, we can develop a simple For..Next that will check every <a> element and will check if those 2 options requirements are fulfilled:
For Each a In ie.document.getElementsByTagName("a")
If Left(a.href, 37) = "/?do_Action=ViewEntity&Entity_ID=" And a.innerText = "View" Then
a.Click
Exit For
Next a
Try it and let's see if this works for you.
If the element href is something like "/?do_Action=ViewEntity&Entity_ID=14287", this if statement is never going to evaluate to True:
(a.getAttribute("href")) = ("/?do_Action=ViewEntity&Entity_ID=")
So the element will never be clicked.
If you know the Entity_ID you want to click you can do:
Dim Entity_ID as Integer
Entity_ID = 14287
If (a.getAttribute("href")) = "/?do_Action=ViewEntity&Entity_ID=" & Cstr(myID) Then a.click
Otherwise just check if the element href contains that url:
If InStr(1, a.getAttribute("href"), linkhref) > 0 Then a.click
EDIT
Ok, using the HTML you posted I am able to access the specified a tag that you requested, by doing this
For Each ele In ie.document.getElementById("searchresults").getElementsByTagName("a")
If InStr(1, ele.href, "do_Action=ViewEntity") > 0 Then
MsgBox "The button is found!"
End If
Next

There are several answers here on StackOverflow about this VB Error. Each answer or situation is unique in reality - although each existing answer states a different potential root cause (file permissions, folder permissions, name reuse, ranges, etc).
I would recommend narrowing down the root-cause by double clicking on the side of the stating function/code in order to mark a breakpoinnt (looks like a red dot) (Alternatively, you can right click on the line of the code - Select the Toggle and then Breakpoint).
Next, run your code, and it will stop in your breakpoint. You can then Step-Into/Over/Out your code and essentially find the line of code that is responsible for throwing your error code. (Step Into is F8, Step over is Shift+F8 ((Go To the Debug top menu to see more options)))
Once you identified the responsible line of code - you can start looking further.
In my case scenario, I was using a protected variable name "Date" (look into variable names). Once I renamed it to something else, the problem was fixed.
One possible cause of this error (as was my case) is an antivirus/antimalware program blocking certain libraries. Try temporarily disabling all antivirus/antimalware programs and test your script again. In my case, Malwarebytes
In MalWare bytes, you can disable this setting by going to:
Security > Advanced Settings > Application Hardening [tab]
On the row called "Disable Loading of VBScript Libraries", un-check the checkbox under "MS Office".
I'm trying to create an Excel macro that will log me into this website. I've written macros to log me into to other websites, but this one is somehow different.
When I use the following code to programmatically insert the username and password and then programmatically click the "log-in" button, the webpage comes back with the message
Error: please provide a username and Error: Please provide a
password
Sub LogIn()
' Open IE and navigate to the log-in page
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With ie
.Visible = True
.navigate "https://www.prudential.com/login"
' Loop until the page is fully loaded
Do Until Not ie.Busy And ie.ReadyState = 4
DoEvents
Loop
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:10"))
' Enter the necessary information on the Login web page and click the submit button
ie.document.getElementById("username").Value = "abcdef"
ie.document.getElementById("password").Value = "12345678"
ie.document.getElementsByClassName("btn btn-primary btn-login btn-sm-block analytics-login")(0).Click
' Loop until the page is fully loaded
Do Until Not ie.Busy And ie.ReadyState = 4
DoEvents
Loop
End With
' Do stuff
' Quit IE
ie.Quit
End Sub
I can see that my code has inserted the username and password into the webpage boxes, but for some reason after successfully clicking the submit button, the username and password are not being detected.
What code will successfully insert the username and password so that it can be processed by the web page? You'll know that your code works when you get the following error message:
We are unable to verify your username and password. Please try again.
Thanks for your help!
It actually wants you to send a key, so you can bypass this request like this:
ie.document.getElementById("username").Focus
ie.document.getElementById("username").Value = "abcde"
Application.SendKeys "f", True
ie.document.getElementById("password").Focus
ie.document.getElementById("password").Value = "1234567"
Application.SendKeys "8", True
ie.document.getElementsByClassName("btn btn-primary btn-login btn-sm-block analytics-login")(0).Click
Edit:
Sub GetData()
Dim ie As InternetExplorer
Dim desc As IHTMLElement
Set ie = New InternetExplorer
With ie
.navigate "https://www.prudential.com/login"
.Visible = True
End With
Do While (ie.Busy Or ie.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE)
DoEvents
Loop
ie.document.getElementById("username").Focus
Application.SendKeys "abcdef"
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
ie.document.getElementById("password").Focus
Application.SendKeys "12345678"
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
ie.document.getElementsByClassName("btn btn-primary btn-login btn-sm-block analytics-login")(0).Click
Set ie = Nothing
End Sub
Try the code below:
Option Explicit
Const READYSTATE_COMPLETE As Long = 4
Const URL_String As String = "https://www.prudential.com/login"
Sub Login()
Dim IE As Object
Dim ObjElement As Object
' using Late Binding
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With IE
.navigate URL_String
.Visible = True
End With
Do While (IE.Busy Or IE.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE)
DoEvents
Loop
IE.document.getElementByid("username").Value = "abcdef"
IE.document.getElementByid("password").Value = "12345678"
' Optional: I didn't need the wait time
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
Set ObjElement = IE.document.getElementsByClassName("btn btn-primary btn-login btn-sm-block analytics-login")
ObjElement(0).Click
Set IE = Nothing
End Sub
Another approach might be something like the following.
Sub Get_Logged_In()
Dim IE As New InternetExplorer, HTML As HTMLDocument
Dim post As Object, elem As Object
With IE
.Visible = True
.navigate "https://www.prudential.com/login"
While .Busy = True Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend
Set HTML = .document
End With
With HTML
Set post = .querySelector("#username")
post.Focus
post.innerText = "abcdef"
Set elem = .querySelector("#password")
elem.Focus
elem.innerText = "12345678"
.querySelector("button[data-qa='Login Button']").Click
End With
IE.Quit
End Sub

In case anyone else has a similar problem I was finally able to get Sendkeys to work. Still, if anyone can come up with a non-Sendkeys solution it would be much preferred.
Two important points in getting Sendkeys to work are 1) use of
Set WSS = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
and 2) to be sure to run the macro from Excel (e.g. tools-macro-macros) and not from the VB Editor (running from the editor will simply insert the text somewhere within the code and not on the target webpage).
' Open IE and navigate to the log-in page
Application.StatusBar = "Opening IE and logging in to the website"

Task: using Excel VBA to navigate to a website, log in and go to an input page.
On that page, sequentially enter a series of values stored in a column in Sheet1.
What I've done so far:
I create a webbrowser control and navigate to the website and stop.
Then click on a button on Sheet1 with the macros that will do the inputting, stored in a module.
What's happening:
The control comes up nicely and navigates to the intended site. (this is the userform code)
Click on the button and it gets the userid and password from the spreadsheet, inputs them, clicks on the login button and all is well.
However, the next statement is:
Set inputfield = WebBrowser.objWebBrowser.Document.getElementById("ctl02_ctl03_ddlBus")
and inputfield comes up empty.
If I stop execution and step through it, it'll work.
I've tried Application.Wait; For x = 1 to 5000000; On Error Goto/Resume and keep trying, but nothings works.
I've also tried .NavigateComplete, .DocumentCompleted, as well as others, but I get errors saying member is not supported.
I am at my wits end - I'm just so close!! So far, I've spent more time on this that it will ever save, but now it's personal! Thanks for your help.
This is borrowed code from another site that initializes the control.
