Do you mean:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;IE.getElementById(&quot;Payerid<wbr />&quot;).Value = sOptionValue

IrogSinta,

Do you mean:
   IE.getElementById("Payerid").Value = sOptionValue

<div>
Yes I did. &nbsp;I'll correct it now. &nbsp;Did you try that?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to enter the text selection for the following select field:
<pre><code id="code-10-28608295-1">&lt;select name=&quot;Payerid&quot; id=&quot;Payerid&quot; class=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;Payerid&quot;&gt;
		&lt;option value=&quot;383&quot;&gt;Aetna Healthcare&lt;/option&gt;
                ...</code></pre>
Using VBA, I know I can use:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; IE.getElementById(&quot;Payerid<wbr />&quot;).Value = &quot;383&quot;<br />
but there about 100 options so I don't want to keep track of the values (which are meaningless to me) or changes the website developers make. <br />
<br />
So is there a &nbsp;way to enter the text into the select field?<br />
I tried:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;IE.getElementById(&quot;Payerid<wbr />&quot;).Text = &quot;Aetna Healthcare&quot;<br />
but that didn't work.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
