Auto-submit HTML Form using VB in Access 2007 - html

Question

I'm at my wit's end on this one.
Part of a project I'm working on requires interaction with an HTML form to bring up the correct page on an external web-based tool. I've managed to make this form accept entered variables and be generated on the fly using document.write, but what I haven't been able to do reliably is trigger the 'Submit' action in a way that will not throw off Error 91.
So far, I've been using a simple getelementbyid.click call... Here's a list of a few things I've tried to get it to trigger:
TestLoop:
Pause (1)
BrowserControl.document.getelementbyid("Submit").click
On Error Goto TestLoop
*(The 'Error Loop' tactic didn't really work at all.)
Pause (3)
BrowserControl.document.getelementbyid("Submit").click
(This actually works the best, but because different PCs might have different hardware specs and open applications that might slow it down, what works for me hasn't been working for another tester. If I make it TOO long, I end up adding additional delay to a form I'm already worried about being too slow.)
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function(){
document.getElementById('Submit').click();;
}
</script>
(Embedding an auto-trigger in the generated HTML, frustratingly, works OUTSIDE of the embedded web browser control, but not inside it.)
Private Sub wb_NavigateComplete2(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
If Me.BrowserControl.Document.URL= "about:blank" Then
BrowserControl.document.getelementbyid("Submit").click
End If
End Sub
(For some insane reason, using debug.print I found that it's saying the navigation is complete before it's actually complete, so this didn't work at all.)
I may have missed a few... I've been attacking this from a bunch of different angles. The trick is that I have to use the HTML form to interact with this system that I don't have admin priveledges on, so changing how the information is recieved isn't really an option.
My last train of thought was to see if I could mimic a FORM submission using straight VB, bypassing the need for a 'click' event, but it's been exceptionally difficult to search for things related to HTML FORM interactions with Access 2007 Forms. :P
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Well, after 7 months of testing and thousands of activations in that time, splitting the 'work' seems to have done the trick.
Form_Open: Initialises the Browser Object and sets its address to about:blank
Form_Current: Calls a formula that 'draws' the web form using Document.Write, then enters a loop...
TestLoop:
BrowserControl.document.getelementbyid("Submit").click
On Error Goto TestLoop
