How can I make VB fill in files in a webbrowser control?

You can't, at least not by setting the value of the form element the 
same way as you would a normal text input box on a form.
When I've had to use a webbrowser control to do this, I've used 
sendkeys to emulate the TAB and then paste the value I wanted into the 
input box.
I believe this is for security reasons, for instance if you visited a 
website and they could automatically fill in and submit a file from 
your hard drive it would be a nightmare.
