Hello,

I'm currently designing a program to automate the submission of data to a Federal regulatory agency. It will pull data from excel sheets and populate the corresponding fields online. I had no issue with general webpages, I just use the following command for each field:
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("ElementID").SetAttribute("value", "ExcelField".Value2)

Now this works great with typical html pages with forms to fill so I was planning on just expanding upon these basics to fill out an form with multiple fields for population. However, after further examination it looks like the Agency uses a Java Applet interface for data input.

This has made everything much more difficult and I'm not completely sure how I can automate the population of this form. Previously I was just opening the pages in Firefox and using the "Inspect Element" tool to examine each field, get the element ID, and possible values. I did this to avoid having to scan through a bunch of page source code. But with the Java Applet this tool no longer is an option. I can still open up the page's source code however.

If it would be helpful I could post the source code as well as my VB code. But has anyone ever had any experience with manipulating fields in an online Java Applet?

Thanks,
Michael
