Problems automating inVBA

[Cliff]

I'm attempting to automate input to an ASP/AJAX web-page using VBA, however,
I've encountered a couple of problems:

1) when selecting from dropdown A manuallly, dropdown B is populated with a
series of options depending on the option selected in drropdown A. While I
can select from dropdown A in VBA, dropdown B never gets updated. Prsumably
I need to trigger some event on the page, but how do I accomplish this in
VBA?

2) clicking a button creates an "on the fly" dropdown depending on the
contents of a textbox. How do I access this dropdown and select an option?

Apologies if these questions seem naive and beginnerish, but I'm working
well outside my comfort zone.

Please clarify which software you are using:

ASP or ASP.NET (AJAX works only in ASP.NET, not ASP)
VBA is Visual Basic for Applications, the programming language which comes
with Microsoft Office, not ASP or ASP.NET

Apologies for the lack of clarity, as I said, while I've got a fair bit of
experience using VBA to automate Excel, this project is at the limits of my
knowledge and experience.

I'm using VBA to populate the fields on a web-page from data held in Excel
using the Internet Explorer object via GetElementById. I think frm the
research I've been able to make, the page itself was developed iusing
ASP.NET. I hope this helps.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to reply.
Cliff.
