_IEGetObjByName works at home not at work

[charon]

I made a script to log into a client side form which works fine at home when I test it but doesn't work at all at work. I tested at home in IE8 which is what my work computer uses. Is there some security setting in IE8 that would prevent _IEGetObjByName from working?   I even made a simple client side web form to test my AutoIt program with which works at home but not at work.  The error is 3 ($_IEStatus_InvalidDataType) - Invalid Data Type

Func SignIn($fname)
;fname is just a html form on my computer to test with: form.html. the below code is not populating the form
$POD = getPOD($fname)
Global $oIE = _IECreate(@ScriptDir & "\" & $fname, 0 ,1, 1)   ;for work
    If $fname = "D3.html" Then
        logFile("Function SignIn: Found D3 type: " & $fname, "log.txt")
        Local $user = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "user")
        Local $pass = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "pws")
        Local $button = _IEGetObjById ($oIE, "goo")   ;had to add id to form
        If @error Then
            MsgBox(0, "", "Error in function SignIn ...Error code: " & @error & "Exiting...")
        EndIf
                

    _IEFormElementSetValue ($user, "test")   ;not working??
    _IEFormElementSetValue ($pass, $POD)   ;not working??
    If @error Then
            MsgBox(0, "", "Error in function ...Error code: " & @error & "Exiting...")
        EndIf
        ;msgbox(0,'','POD: ' & $user & ' is ' & $POD, 2)
    _IEAction ($button, "click")
         _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Admin")
EndFunc

#include <IE.au3>

$Password = 'password'
$Login = 'url'
_IENavigate($oIE,$Login,1)
$Index = 0
While 1
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE,$Index)
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "user")
IF  @extended  Then
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery,$Username)
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "pws")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery,$Password)
;;;
$oLinks = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
For $oLink In $oLinks
    If String($oLink.type) = "submit" And String($oLink.value) = "goo" Then
          _IEAction($oLink, "click")
          _IELoadWait($oIE)
          ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next
;;;
ExitLoop
EndIf
$Index = $Index + 1
Sleep(25)
WEnd

I think it is simple code to understand and start learning IE udf

I know many of my IE scripts fail if it is not in 'Protected Mode'.
