webquery with login first
If you give me your url and parameters I will try to resolve this for you. I
am a yahoo member and also a member of xltraders.

Hi,
I need to access a table of financial quotes on yahoo finance. it has a
table format that is only available to members (if you type in its URL
while not logged in you get a format without the fields i want). so i
first created the code to login and that works fine. then i had the
code for the webquery. the problem is that the webquery tries to access
the webpage without using the open connection, that has logged in. so
the webquery's connection hasn't logged in, and has no access to the
table in the format i want.
I am trying to avoid the solution of being automatically logged in to
yahoo and just using the webquery itself.
Can anyone tell me how the webquery can open the desired page from the
open connection that is logged in? or how to login with the webquery
itself, and then navigate to the page i want and download the table in
the format i want?
thank you very much for your help,
Ian
