How do I select "AZ" from the list this code would generate:

Code:
<select name="delstate" size="1" tabindex="8">
  <option >CA</option>
  <option  >AZ</option>
  <option  >NV</option>
  <option  >OR</option>
  <option  >WA</option>
</select>

I'm wishing this to work without luck:
Code:
Set IEapp = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IEapp.Document.all.Item("delstate").Value = "AZ"

I could use SendKeys, but would rather not.

Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
The options collection of the HTMLSelectElement is zero based. Therefore, the index of 1 is actually the second option. To select the second option, "AZ", use this code:

Code:
ieapp.document.all.Item("delstate").selectedIndex = 1
