I'm having the same problem, and I haven't been able to find an answer either. The following code demonstrates the problem without using PAMIE: from win32com.client import DispatchEx import time ie = DispatchEx("InternetExplorer.Application") ie.Visible = 1 ie.Navigate("http://google.com") # wait for page to finish loading while ie.Busy: time.sleep(0.1) while ie.Document.ReadyState != 'complete': time.sleep(0.1) ie.Document.forms['f'].elements.all['q'].value = "win32all" # the following line throws an exception on XP SP2: ie.Document.forms['f'].elements.all['q'].fireEvent('onchange') ie.Quit() The full error produced is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py" , line 310, in RunScript exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__ File "C:\Documents and Settings\smcdonald\Desktop\xpsp2test.py", line 14, in ? ie.Document.forms['f'].elements.all['q'].fireEvent('onchange') File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 165, in __call__ return self._get_good_object_(self._oleobj_.Invoke(*allArgs),self._olerepr_.def aultDispatchName,None) com_error: (-2147024891, 'Access is denied.', None, None) If anyone has any solutions or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. -Steve _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
