I'm trying to fill a simple web form in with vb .net, and have found numerous samples in VB6, however I can't seem to work out the same in vb .net.

I can add the explorer object and navigate to the page, however when I try to use the AxWebBrowser1.documents collection I don't have access to the 'all' or 'forms' objects that the VB6 examples uses.

Any help very gratefully received.

I don't have the same problem, using VB.NET and VS.NET 2003

AxWebBrowser.Document.all("fieldname").value = Value

However, if you are continuing to have problems, there is another option. I'm going to assume you are trying to POST data, since that requires a more advanced function.

Create a new System.Net.WebClient object.

Visual Basic: 
Public Class MyWebClient
    Public Client As New System.Net.WebClient
    Public Function HTTPRequest(ByVal URL As String, ByVal postString As String, Optional ByVal Method As String = "POST") As String
        Dim serverResponse() As Byte
        Dim postBytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postString)
        Try
            serverResponse = Me.Client.UploadData(URL, Method, postBytes)
            ' Gets data from server!
        Catch ex As Exception

            MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Critical, ex.Source & " Error")
            Exit Function
        End Try
        Dim responseHTML As String = (System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(serverResponse))
        ' Turns server response(in bytes) into a string(HTML)
        Return responseHTML
    End Function
End Class

postString are your field arguments, the format for postString is as such

"fieldname=value&fieldname2=value2&ect=ect&ect=ect"
