string variable in .elements( ).value doesn't work

[chris_j_adams]

Hi,

I'm trying to pull some values out of a table in IE using Excel 97.

This works:
IeApp.Document.forms("form").elements("rates[AUD]").Value

This doesn't:
nm = "rates[" & ccy & "]"
IeApp.Document.forms("form").elements(nm).Value

Can anyone shed any light on why it may not work please?
Btw, the code I'm trying to extract it from appears below.

Many thanks in advance for any advice/help.
Regards,
Chris Adams

<table class="layout">
<tr>
<td class="layout" valign="top">
<table>
<tr>
<th>Ccy</th>
<th>1 GBP =</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>AUD</td>
<td><input type="text" class="rate"
name="rates[AED]"
value="2.501" /></td <==VALUE
I WANT
</tr>

What about
nm = "rates[" + ccy + "]"

Björn,

Many thanks for your advice. I tried that but unfortunately it didn't
work either. For what its worth, I've fashioned a workaround, which
is less elegant but its working so far. I loop through the table and
push the values back to Excel. Here's the code.

With IeApp.Document.forms("form")
r = .elements.Length - 3
For i = 1 To r
ccy = Mid(.elements(i).Name, 7, 3)
ccyVal = .elements(i).Value
Set rngCCY = rng.Find(ccy)
rngCCY.Offset(0, 1) = ccyVal
Next i
End With
Many thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
