I've been trying to write a macro to interact with the following
website:

http://matrix2.itasoftware.com/

I do pretty standard stuff like..

Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

With ie
.Visible = True
.Navigate "http://matrix2.itasoftware.com/"
.Top = 0
.Left = 30
.Height = 400
.Width = 400

to open ie to the webpage, and I use code like...

Set ipf = ie.Document.all.Item("from1")
ipf.Value = depart_arpt
Set ipf = ie.Document.all.Item("to1")
ipf.Value = arrival_arpt

to isert information into the webpage. I can insert my data into all
of the webpage boxes except for the drop-down box to the right of the
phrase "Departing in". I can't figure out how to make a selection in
this box. I've tried code like...

ie.Document.all.Item("dijit_MenuItem_6").Click

but it won't select one of the months available in the drop down
list. Interestingly, if I go and manually click in this webpage box,
and then go back to my paused macro, the above line does work and the
correct month/year appears in the drop down box. Any help on how to
make this selection without having to manually click the box would be
much appreciated...TIA, Ron

Click to expand...

Whoops, I should have mentioned that you need to select the "See
calendar of lowest fares" radio button option

ie.Document.all.Item("rt_calendar").Click

in order to see the "departing in" line and drop down box I was
referring to...Ron
