    You need to convert the contents of "a" into something that corresponds to an onscreen object.  The screenshots you provided me give the text value of the field... and that is a string... you can't "click" on a string, so you need to convert that to an actual object. The below code should do what you want.

     

    var objectToClick = eval(a.Text)
objectToClick.Click()

    "a" in your code is simply the contents of cell B4 in your excel data.  That is not going to actually be a clickable object.

     

    What is the contents of that cell?  If you can give us that information, we might be able to help you figure out the best code to use to click on what you want.
