grabbing data off web pages using excel macro
grabbing data off web pages using excel macro
(OP)
I can easily grab a web page and put it into Excel, if I know the URL.
I want to 'construct' the URL using the
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="URL;http://www.???????
function.
VB doesn't apparently parse a variable within this command - so I can't write this as Add(Connection:= and then use a variable.
Is there a workaround?
If I knew where the macro scripts are located I could write the macro 'on the fly' then call it but I suspect that the macros are all scrunched up in a file somewhere and maybe not accessible.
Or maybe there's another command designed to accept parameters within it?
Thanks in advance...

Hi.
Why did you ask this question in this Attachmate forum?
This is a forum707: VBA Visual Basic for Applications (Microsoft) question.
However a solution..
CODE
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="URL;http://www." & YourVariable & ")"
Skip,
Just traded in my old subtlety...
