Default Convert to a Parameter Query
Have you tried
sym=range("a1")

I have a web query that was created by going to a web page

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=GE

selecting Export to Excel, then selecting the specific data I want to
download. This is the query created:

WEB
1
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=GE

Selection=21,24,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,48,52,55,58
Formatting=None
PreFormattedTextToColumns=True
ConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne=True
SingleBlockTextImport=False
DisableDateRecognition=False
DisableRedirections=False

The problem is that this does not create a parameter query. For example,
if
you use Microsoft's stock quote web query there is a parameter option so
that you can easily change the stock ticker. Is there a way to make the
above query into a parameter query.
