So I apologize if there is a comprehensive guide to this somewhere.. I have scoured the internet and these forums searching for everything I can, but I cannot find what I'm looking for.

I am not new to macros at all, but I am unfamiliar with using them to automate IE.

Essentially what I need to do is navigate to a webpage, (may or may not need to enter through a pop up), enter username and password, then navigate to a specific button and go to the sub page, then paste in a string from the clipboard into a specific field on the webpage, then click export and choose save as etc.

So- I understand how to do that in overall macro/VBA steps, but I do not know how to translate it into IE verbiage and call specific locations or fields within IE, or determine what the pop up windows will be called or what the choices on them can be defined as...

I know this is probably somewhat elementary, and unfortunately this automation would be work related so I can't link to the specific website, but I am more looking for the base process that could be done on any website so I can tweak it for my purposes.
