John,   To select “Humiston Sharon” in a list box:               Pause "<SELECT>[EMAIL PROTECTED]"             For i = 0 To Web.Selected.Options.Length                 If Web.Selected.Options(i).Value = “Humiston Sharon” Then                     Web.Selected.selectedIndex = i                     Exit For                 End If             Next i   Don’t try to understand this exactly, just try to get the overall point.  The Internet Explorer has literally thousands of weird objects, methods and properties like this.  We try to protect you from most of them but we haven’t figured out how to protect you from this one.   Rich McNeil Boston Software Systems 866 653 5105 www.bostonworkstation.com From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dutcher, John Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 6:36 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Talk] 'setting' the value of the current element.   It's interesting (and probably understandable) that using "Let Web.Selected.innerHTML = "Humiston Sharon" cause no compile or run-time error.....it just hasn't populated the listbox window wuth anything either. -----Original Message----- From: Dutcher, John Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 6:12 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [Talk] 'setting' the value of the current element. The 2nd of the two following lines of code cause a compile error which observes that an object is apparently needed after the '=' sign.   It seems to me that one should be able to instantiate some kind of object in the code and give it the value of the literal shown.......so that the 'element', (a listbox in this case) could be valued with the literal value.    How to achieve that in VBA ?   John D.     Code lines:           Pause "<SELECT>[EMAIL PROTECTED]"         Set Web.Selected = "Humiston Sharon"   <-----------compile error here ---<
