Do While IE.Busy Or IE.ReadyState <> 4
Application.Wait (Now() + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
Loop
IE.Document.getElementById("username").Value = "your_username"
IE.Document.getElementById("password").Value = "your_password"
IE.Document.forms(0).submit
Do While IE.Busy Or IE.ReadyState <> 4
Application.Wait (Now() + TimeValue("0:00:01"))

' You can now access elements on the logged-in page and perform various actions.
