How to request web data via macro from excel

How to request web data via macro from excel

How to request web data via macro from excel

(OP)
I'd like to set up a macro to periodically query a web site and capture particular pieces of the returned information.  Does anyone know how I can make excel go to a URL (as though I'd clicked a link) and capture the data that's returned?

RE: How to request web data via macro from excel

Hi,

Try ADO in your code then you can connect to a url. To use ADO see the MSAccess help files for futher information.

P.S.
I'm still learning how to use ADO so I can't give you examples for your problem, but I know it's possible!

Good luck.
