Hi everyone

Currently I have a list of ID numbers in excel and wish to extract info from intranet. Prior to extract the data, I encountered error message when macro attempted to "click" the "Search" button in the webpage after have key in the ID number in the intranet fields.

The error message was : Run time error 91 Object variable or with block variable not set
Appears during the macro line : ie.Document.getElementById("search").Value.Click

Macro Code:
private Sub wpieautologin()


Dim ie As Object
Set ie = New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Set ie = CreateObject("Internetexplorer.Application")




ie.Navigate "intranet.com"
ie.Visible = True
Do
DoEvents


Loop Until ie.ReadyState = 4
ie.Document.getElementById("policyCode_text").Click
ie.Document.getElementById("policyCode_text").Value = "0026954693"
ie.Document.getElementById("search").Value.Click


End Sub

The following in the view source code for the intranet page on the "Search" button:

<td height="25" align="center" ><input value="Search" *******="if(checkNotNull()){transSubmitValue();}else {return false;}" class="button" type="submit" >
<input value="Exit" *******="if(checkNotNull()){transSubmitValue();javascript:goHome();return false;}else {return false;}" class="button" type="button" ></td>



Sincerely appreciate for help !

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

In case that getElementById("search") select the item, then you you have to use
Code: 
ie.Document.getElementById("search").Click
However without having access to the web page and its run time source code this is only a guess

Hi Anthony

Sorry of the missing source code, as attached below:
<td height="25" align="center" ><input value="Search" *******="if(checkNotNull()){transSubmitValue();}else {return false;}" class="button" type="submit" >
<input value="Exit" *******="if(checkNotNull()){transSubmitValue();javascript:goHome();return false;}else {return false;}" class="button" type="button" ></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>

Appreciate for your help!

Best regards

I am sorry about the repeated attempts of pasting the source code, it turns out as an icon :(

Please find source code as below:
<<td height="25" align="center" >><<input value="Search" *******="if(checkNotNull()){transSubmitValue();}else {return false;}" class="button" type="submit" >>
<<input value="Exit" *******="if(checkNotNull()){transSubmitValue();javascript:goHome();return false;}else {return false;}" class="button" type="button" >><</td>>

Thank you very much!

I mean th HTML source code, that you can read using the "Inspect" command of your browser, and include the html tags that might be used to grab the elements

<INPUT *******="if(checkNotNull()){transSubmitValue();}else {return false;}" class=button type=submit value=Search>
<html>

I tried to include the html tag, but somehow it appears the button search.... :(


source code :
INPUT *******="if(checkNotNull()){transSubmitValue();else {return false;}
class=button, type=submit value=Search

Not sure if this helps.
Thank you very much

This is not a html source code.
As I said, without having access to the web page we can only rely an what you publish.
Rightclick on the button and select Inspect (this is for Chrome); this will give you access to the html code of the area. From the code we need to understand how the button can be addressed, so I cannot be specific on what you have to look for. Try copying most of the source code pertaining the button.
Unless you can share the page Url and it is accessible to us...

Hi Anthony

I am very sorry on the late reply. I have used the chrome and click on the inspect to copy the code as below:

  <tr>    <td height="25"><hr size="1" noshade=""></td>  </tr>  <tr>    <td height="25"></td>  </tr></tbody></table>	  </td>  </tr></tbody></table></form>

The Url is https://fpms-sg.greateasternlife.com/ls/qry/commonquery.CommonQuery.do, but i doubt it can be accessed as this is an intranet.

Thanks in advance for your help!!
