Marcus,

You can use either numbers or names in the Item() method.

oIE = createobject( "internetexplorer.application" )
oIE.Visible = .t.
oIE.Navigate( "www.google.com" )
do while oie.Busy()
   doevents
enddo
loDoc = oIE.Document && get the Document object
loForm = loDoc.forms(0) && get the first form object
loForm.Item(3).Value = "foxpro" && this is the field for the search string
loform.Submit() && submit the form

you can use code like to find the items of a form:

* explore the form items

for i = 0 to loForm.Length-1
   ? i, loForm.Item(i).Name, loForm.Item(i).Value
endfor

You can also access the items by their names:

loItem = loForm.item( "q" )
loItem.value = "this is so cool"

If you have VFP8 or VFP7 this stuff becomes really trivial because of Intellisense. You can just kind of explore things from the command window. You can also lookup IE DocumentObjectModel (DOM) on MSDN to help direct your explorations.
