I ran into this same issue a while back. Use internet explorer at a medium integrity level. InternetExplorer defaults to a low integrity level which, if you are doing this over a local intranet at work, sometimes will give the second error message you show above. Click here for more reading on this. I've modified your code below. Please let me know if that helps.

Sub GoToWebsiteTest()
Dim appIE As InternetExplorerMedium
'Set appIE = Nothing
Dim objElement As Object
Dim objCollection As Object

Set appIE = New InternetExplorerMedium
sURL = "http://example.com"
With appIE
    .Navigate sURL
    .Visible = True
End With

Do While appIE.Busy Or appIE.ReadyState <> 4
    DoEvents
Loop

Set objCollection = appIE.Document.getElementsByTagName("input")

Set appIE = Nothing
End Sub
