I am now trying to Edit a filter called 'Priority' which is referenced in the
source code as :

<td>Priority: </td><td><span id="Priority_Desc">All</span> <a
href="javascript:editFilter('[Priority]');">Edit</a></td>

and then place a tick in the second Check Box displayed.

Help would be very much appreciated

If this is the only link on the page with the text "Edit":

dim lnk

for each lnk in IE.document.links
if lnk.innerText="Edit" then
lnk.click
exit for
end if
next l

No idea for the next part without having the source code for the checkboxes.

Tim, This is not the only edit link, the source code has this edit by the id :
><span id="Priority_Desc">All</span>. Is there a way to For Next to find that specific id?


Many Thanks

try

document.getElementById("Priority_Desc").parentElement.getElementsByTagName("A")(0).click

watch out for wrapping there.

Untested: might be ....getElementsByTagName("A")(1).click

Tim,

Brilliant, I now have an issue that now I am presented with box that has a
URL which is security protected so that I cannot view the source code. I can
see checkboxes which have text next to them and a button which simply says OK
next to it. I can check these manually but it would save me an awful lot of
time if I could automate it. Am I now at a dead end?

There are always ways to view the HTML source - after all, it has
already
been downloaded to your browser. Try the IE developer toolbar (if you
use IE) or Firebug (if you use Firefox).

What kind of "box" is it ? Pop-up window or something else ?
In what way is it "security protected"

Thanks to Andrew I have obtained the web site and viewed the source code for
what I now know is a dialog box. The problem is that the dialog box appears
only to work when it appears on the web page from which it was fired up from.
If I try to run my saved queries from the dialog boxes unique url nothing
happens. Two things I need to do.

1/ interact with the dialog box, source code for where I want to interact -
AGM CLEANING SF - is :

<option value="U816" allowEdit="True">AGM CLEANING SF</option>

which in turn will need to activate the open query button :

<td><input id="btnOpen" style="WIDTH: 75px" disabled
onclick="javascriptpenQuery();" type="button" value="Open">

2/ Make sure it interacts with the source page and returns some data.

Regards
