Question

I am currently doing automaiton for file uploading

Below is HTML tag for input file tag:

Answer 1

As setting the value of a file input element is disabled due to security reasons, the "send keys" method seems to be the only option for automating file uploads using the IE API.

I just stumbled over the same problem that the code after the Click does not seem to be executed - that is, unless the dialog is closed. This indicates that the Click method is blocking, making it impossible to interact with the dialog from within the macro.

I could solve that by using a different method to open the dialog: by setting the focus to the file element with Focus, and sending the space key with SendKeys.

In your case, replace

filee.Click

with

filee.Focus
SendKeys " "
