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

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
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
