I don't have PAMIE installed nor have I ever used it,   but the login
area is in a frame and I've had problems with other screen scrapers
and frames.

The frame URL is http://www.expekt.com/contenttop.jsp ,  you could try
navigating directly to the frame to see if it helps

website = "http://www.expekt.com/contenttop.jsp"
ie.navigate(website)
ie.textBoxSet('user', 'MyLogin')
ie.textBoxSet('pass', 'MyPassword')
ie.buttonClick('actn')

HTH :)
