Hi

firstly i'ld check out data / get external data and see if the options under
here meet your needs.

as basically importing data from external sources depends a lot on what the
external source is and if there's a way of accessing it.

Cheers

I really only know the basics about macros and can use it to retreive data
in
a spreadsheet to consolidate it, however, I am now wanting to expand my
knowledge a bit further and would like to learn about using macros to
import
data from external applications but don't know where to start?

any help would be appreciated

thanks
