For those of you who have recently been getting "Application-defined or
object-defined error" when attepting to get a quote from Yahoo from Exce
VBA: their US site http://finance.yahoo.com/?u currently won't let you
download a CSV file. eg get a quote for IBM and click the "download data"
link. As at today it simply displays the data in your browser window rather
than letting you download the data in CSV format like it used to. Over the
last month the problem was intermittent but now it seems to be constant. As
no CSV file is downloaded Excel displays the Application-defined or object
defined error.

I have no idea whether the problem with Yahoo is temporary or permanent.
