What Mr. Shetty was talking about was navigationg with instance of IE.
You are trying it for the WebQuery.
It won't work with WebQuery.

Your choices are.
1. First manually open the site and login. Keep the site open, then run
webquery. (Which I think you do at present, is that correct?)

2. If above is correct then before the web query refresh, through VBA code
you start IE, navigate to the url. As Mr. Shetty says, you supply the
username and password through the code. (I don't know exactly how, I hope
Mr. Shetty will inform this.). Leave the navigated site open.
Then run your web query with Worksheets("xyz").QueryTables(1).Refresh

For opening the webpage through excel:
In your VBA project add reference to "Microsoft Internet Control".

Code could be as under:-

Dim IE As InternetExplorer, nCount as Long
Set IE = New InternetExplorer
IE.Navigate "http://in.finance.yahoo.com/p?v&k=pf_2&d=v6"
'code for username/pwd , I don't know how.
IE.Visible = True

'now allow some time for IE to navigate and login
'below loop will give it 10 sec.

nCount = Timer
Do While Timer < nCount + 10
DoEvents
Loop

'Then refresh your webquery

Worksheets("xyz").QueryTables(1).Refresh

'Allow about 30s for query refresh

nCount = Timer
Do While Timer < nCount + 30
DoEvents
Loop

'Then close IE
IE.Quit

YA, IT IS LOGIN AND PASSWD.
YOU CAN USE IT IN YOUR VBA CODE TO SUPPLY THE VALUES.
ALSO YOU NEED TO FIND OUOT THE CODE NAME FOR SUBMIT BUTTON TO SUBMIT
THE FROM PROGRAMATICALLY.

SHETTY.
