Hi,

I'm trying to integrate our Excel Tool to our customer information database to quickly search for information. I was able to control some of the hyperlinks and button I just want to ask some help on how I can auto fill the the input Search Box in the website that we're using in our office.

Sub crm()

'On Error Resume Next

Dim MyHTML_Element As IHTMLElement
Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim HTMLDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
Dim HTMLInputs As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection
Dim HTMLInput As IHTMLElement
Dim elements As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection

IE.navigate "10.163.74.252/ProView/main.aspx#"
IE.Visible = True


Do
DoEvents
Loop Until IE.readyState = 4

Set HTMLDoc = IE.document

Set Allhyperlinks = IE.document.getElementsByTagName("nobr")
For Each hyper_link In Allhyperlinks
If hyper_link.innerText = "Provider" Then
hyper_link.Click
Exit For
End If
Next

Do
DoEvents
Loop Until IE.readyState = 4

Set aAllhyperlinks = IE.document.getElementsByTagName("A")
For Each hyper_link In aAllhyperlinks
If hyper_link.innerText = "Contacts" Then
hyper_link.Click
Exit For
End If
Next


Do Until Not IE.Busy And IE.readyState = 4
DoEvents
Loop

Set HTMLInput = HTMLDoc.getElementById("crmGrid_findCriteria")
HTMLInput.Value = "12546892"



End Sub

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
This is the HTML code that I'm inspecting

Code:
<table width="100%" title="Use asterisk (*) wildcard character to search on partial text" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody>	<tr id="crmGrid_quickFindContainer" gridid="crmGrid">
		<td valign="top" style="width: 100%; overflow: hidden;"><div style="position: relative;">
			<label class="ms-crm-Dialog-Lookup-QuickFindHint ms-crm-TextAutoEllipsis" id="crmGrid_findHintText" style="display: inline;" for="crmGrid_findCriteria">Search for records</label>
		</div>
		<div style="height: 100%;">
			<input tabindex="0" class="ms-crm-Dialog-Lookup-QuickFind" 					id="crmGrid_findCriteria" type="text" maxlength="100" 						hintlabelid="crmGrid_findHintText" value="" >
		</div>
		</td>
		<td class="AppQuickFind_Render_td" nowrap="">
