I am new at working with web queries, and I am attempting to build some
code that will download stock quotes. I know that there are some canned
programs out there, but I want to learn by building this myself. Some of
my VERY basic code so far is below.

QUESTION: The one question that I can't seem to find any discussions on is
how the heck does one locate the connection string to connect, say, to
Yahoo.com or to Microsoft.com to import stock info?

Set qts = ActiveSheet.QueryTables
Set qt = qts.Add("URL;http://www.HOW DO i FIND WHAT THE HECK GOES HERE",
Application.Range(ActiveCell.Address))
With qt
.WebSelectionType = xlSpecifiedTables
'.WebTables = "1"
.WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingAll
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.BackgroundQuery = False
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.Refresh 'BackgroundQuery:=False
End With

Please help and be gentle to this starter...thanks in advance.
