Good morning again,
Another note:
If the button (or other element) that you are looking for has only a name
and not an id you can use.
Let oButton = oDoc.getElementsByName("nameHere")
This returns an array of all of the elements with the specified name. To
access the array elements use parentheses, e.g.
oButton(0).click
You can find out how many elements were returned with
oButton.length
HTH,
Everett
