Yeah..it does...I'm trying to do about the same thing(login in everything...seems like you're game scripting..=) ). Well, here's some stuff that can help. Assuming it's on a website, it will take your computer a while to load, but, here's what I'm doing:

I opened Internet Explorer and set the preferences to Home page being the place with the login.
In my VB program I wrote in shell like this:
APPACTIVATE SHELL("c:\explorer.exe")
This launches the explorer.exe file(not sure of my exact location at the moment). Anyway, it's loading. Now the problem is if you use sendkeys it will send them before the page is done loading. Big problem. And most loops on visual basic tend to lock up for me. =(. Anyway, it's loading, hopefull the cursor is already on the textbox for input. Now, you've got it loaded, and if your computer is fast just add
SENDKEYS and your password here, but like this:
"P" & "a" & "s" & "s" & "w" & "o" & "r" & "d"
Iz kinda funny..I think help has a nice little annoying example for sendkeys(calculator pressing buttons on it's own). Experiment with this and tell me if you find anything with API, because I can't get it to go from VB to gaining focus on the page.

Oh, and for the Submit button, try "{TAB}" & "{ENTER}" it should tab the focus onto the button and select it.
