There are many companies which provide the service for getting the stock quotes but ASP doesnt have an easy way of getting this information from the page.

Your have a few options

1.
2. write a VB6 app (or .net) which gets the value from the provider page and writes it to an include file or puts it into a database so your ASP page can access it. Get his app running every 15 mins or so. This means that you dont have to access a remote site on every page view.

Hoep this helps, if you need any more help just ask...
