    <p>I routinely have to search the state of NV for unclaimed property and put the results in an Excel spreadsheet. I am trying to automate the process but I'm limited to using Excel 2010 and VBA. Below is the URL to the site I'm trying to submit a form using xmlhttp.</p> <p>URL: <a href="https://nevadatreasurer.gov/UPSearch/" rel="nofollow">https://nevadatreasurer.gov/UPSearch/</a></p> <p>I created a class to automate submitting forms on other websites but no matter what I enter in the postdata the form is never submitted. Below is my submission, and method to submit the form.</p> <p>Call to class:</p> <pre><code>cXML.openWebsite "Post", "https://nevadatreasurer.gov/UPSearch/Index.aspx", _ "ctl04$txtOwner=" &amp; strSearchName </code></pre> <p>Class method:</p> <pre><code>Public Sub openWebsite(strOpenMethod As String, strURL As String, _ Optional strPostData As String) pXmlHttp.Open strOpenMethod, strURL If strPostData &lt;&gt; "" Then strPostData = convertSpaceToPlus(strPostData) pXmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" pXmlHttp.send (strPostData) Else pXmlHttp.send End If 'Create DOM html documnet pHtmlObj.body.innerHTML = pXmlHttp.responseText End Sub </code></pre> <p>Each time the <code>responseText</code> is the main website with no updates, as if I submitted no postdata. I'm fairly new to IE automation but can someone provide a reason why this isn't working and a code example that works?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Update: 7/26/13 8:30am PST</p> <p>Without any changes to my method I was able to submit forms through another website. The state of OR unclaimed property form. It worked perfect!</p> <p>URL: <a href="https://oregonup.us/upweb/up/UP_search.asp" rel="nofollow">https://oregonup.us/upweb/up/UP_search.asp</a> </p> <p>However I ran into the same problem when I tried the state of CA unclaimed property website. No matter what I do, the <code>responseText</code> is always the original search page with no update.</p> <p>URL: <a href="https://scoweb.sco.ca.gov/UCP/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://scoweb.sco.ca.gov/UCP/Default.aspx</a></p> <p>It still does not work with the state of NV on my original post. I am using the proper post data, URL encoded for each website and can see no difference. Any help would be appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
