Let me start by saying that my programming skills are novice at best. However, I am attempting to write a sub routine to login to a website and enter data from a spreadsheet into a search field on the site. Logging in requires navigation through a series of three pages. I have successfully navigated through the first two. The problem is that on the third page when I attempt to reference an IE form called ByKeywords I get a "Run Time Error - 438 Object doesn't support this property or method". I've been stuck on this for a couple days and have searched every forum I could find.

Sub LoginToEsales()
Dim ieApp As InternetExplorer
Dim ieDoc As Object
Dim ieTable As Object
Set ieApp = New InternetExplorer
ieApp.Visible = True
ieApp.Navigate "My Website (unable to post link due to privacy concerns)"
Do While ieApp.Busy: DoEvents: Loop
Do Until ieApp.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE: DoEvents: Loop
Set ieDoc = ieApp.Document
With ieDoc.loginform
.operinit.Value = "gmbg"
.passWord.Value = "gmbg"
.submit
End With
Do While ieApp.Busy: DoEvents: Loop
Do Until ieApp.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE: DoEvents: Loop
With ieDoc.choosecust
.setcustno.Value = "240"
.submit
End With
Do While ieApp.Busy: DoEvents: Loop
Do Until ieApp.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE: DoEvents: Loop
With ieDoc.ByKeywords 'This is where I get the Runtime Error - 438
.keywords.Value = "gmbg"
'.submit
End With
Do While ieApp.Busy: DoEvents: Loop
Do Until ieApp.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE: DoEvents: Loop
UserForm1.Hide
End Sub



Here is the html code for the page I am trying to access:
