IE 9 automation in vfp problem

[EzLogic]

After I upgraded my IE to 9, my vfp code is having some issues now with automation

this code still works in IE 8 and prior.

oWeb.document.GetElementbyID("submitButton").click()
and it submits the form as if i am clicking on the button.

on IE 9, its not doing anything.

i even tried:
oWeb.document.forms(0).submit()

anyone have experience in IE 9 to fix this issue?

I haven't messed around with IE9 automation yet, but I know where to find the folks that do. They hang out on the message board at

Don't know which page you're automatng, and you don't show your full automation code, but in general it works for me with IE9.

For example:

Local loIE, loDoc, loTags, loInput

loIE = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
loIE.navigate("[URL unfurl="true"]www.google.com")[/URL]
Do While loIE.ReadyState<>4
   DoEvents
EndDo 
loDoc  = loIE.Document
loTags = loDoc.getElementsByName("q")
loInput = loTags.item(0)
loInput.value = "your search"
loDoc.forms(0).submit()
loIE.Visible = .T.

GetElementsByID() would also still work, but google does not set the ID of the search input tag.

Bye, Olaf.

Hi Ali, I'm hitting the same thing in a VFP application and I'm wondering if you ever found a resolution. This code has consistently worked for years and now it almost always fails on machines with IE9. However, I've found one machine on IE9 that periodically will work and am still trying to figure out why.

Thanks for any help,
