I would try it with only the string index into the forms collection:

  window.parent.document.forms("fMssg").elements("hMssg").value = "GO"

The second integer argument, iSubIndex, is (according to the
documentation)...

"...
iSubIndex Optional. Position of an element to retrieve. This parameter is
used when vIndex is a string. The method uses the string to construct a
collection of all elements that have a name or id property equal to the
string, and then retrieves from this collection the element at the position
specified by iSubIndex.
..."

Given that you include .elements("hMssg") to reference the element, I don't
see how you would need iSubIndex.
