Select option in HTML drop down list

Hi all, this has been puzzling me for a day. What I want to do is select other options in IE html drop down list. But somehow the other methods I read online doesn't work with my situation. I got either "Variable or Block Variable not set yet" or "Property or Method doesn't apply" errors. The following is the VBA code I have so far:

and the following is html code of the web page:

HTML Code: 

I tried IE.document.getElementByName("dxr_report").Value = "file2" to choose the file2 but failed
I also tried IE.document.all.Item("dxr_report").Vaule = "file2", doesn't work either.

Any Idea? Please help! Thanks in advance

Try getElementsByName("dxr_report")(0) to get the element and use selectedIndex to make the selection.

It doesn't work....I'm New to VBA coding so please forgive if this is dumb Thanks

Doesn't work in what way?

Errors? Nothing happens?

The way you've written the code is fine but I can't check it as I can't access the URL in your code.

The problem isn't with selectedIndex, it's caused by the object, ie the dropdown, not being found.

That could be happening for a number of reasons.

For example you could be dealing with a page made up of frames and the dropdown is in one of the frames, not the main document.
