Afternoon,

I am trying to automate some IE navigation. I am running into an issue when trying to populate a field. The object will allow for text entry - but i cannot seem to find a way to fire/trigger an event to populate the dropdown list that will then allow me to select from their "approved" list items.

When i get to the point of "clicking" the button, it will error out the location object.

I have commented out the line having the issue

I am using Office 2016 32 bit on a Windows 10 Machine.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. As i have been beating my head against this all day.

Code:
''REFERENCES - Microsoft Scripting Runtime

Sub Car_Check()
Dim objIE As Object
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objAllWindows = objShell.Windows

On Error GoTo ErrHandler

TargetURL = "https://www.costcotravel.com/h=4005"
Set objIE = New InternetExplorerMedium
objIE.navigate TargetURL

Do While objIE.readyState <> 4 Or objIE.Busy
    DoEvents
Loop

objIE.document.getElementById("pickupLocationTextWidget").Focus


''-------------------------------cant fire event to select drop down options
objIE.document.getElementById("pickupLocationTextWidget").Value = "(MCO) Orlando International , FL"
''-------------------------------
objIE.document.getElementById("pickUpDateWidget").Value = "08/31/2019"
objIE.document.getElementById("pickupTimeWidget").Value = "05:00 PM"
objIE.document.getElementById("dropOffDateWidget").Value = "09/12/2019"
objIE.document.getElementById("dropoffTimeWidget").Value = "06:00 AM"

objIE.document.getElementById("findMyCarButton").Click

Exit Sub

''Find Window when IE window is lost
ErrHandler:
For Each ow In objAllWindows
    If (InStr(1, ow, "Internet Explorer", vbTextCompare)) Then
        I = 0
        If ow = "Internet Explorer" Then
            Set objIE = ow
        End If
    End If
Next
Resume

End Sub
