You're doing a SetAttribute on the user ID textbox. For the password, you're setting the InnerText value instead. Have you tried doing SetAttribute on the password control?

Are you sure you're even getting a pointer to the password control? All the other controls are named ctl100_... but the password control is named ctl100$... Is that a typo?

If WebBrowser1.ReadyState = WebBrowserReadyState.Complete Then

Dim frmform As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.Forms("aspnetForm")
frmform.All("ctl00_lnkLogin").InvokeMember("Click")
frmform.All("ctl00_txtUserName").SetAttribute("value", sUserID)

Dim oPassword As HtmlElement
oPassword = WebBrowser1.Document.All.Item("ctl00$txtPassword")
oPassword.InnerText = sPWD

Dim He As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementByI("ctl00_cboTerminal")
He.SetAttribute("SelectedIndex", "1")

frmform.All("ctl00_btnLogin").Enabled = True
frmform.All("ctl00_btnLogin").InvokeMember("Submit")

End If
