Thnks for the reply.

OK, here is something more specific, and I know this works:


Code:
--------------------

Sub getprice()

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://quote.barchart.com/quote.asp?sym=V4Y0",

Destination:=Range("C1"))
.Name = "quote.asp?sym=V4Y0"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = False
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = False
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.WebSelectionType = xlAllTables
.WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone
.WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
.WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
.WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
.WebDisableDateRecognition = False
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub
Code:
--------------------


But when I revise the code to read from A1:


Code:
--------------------

Sub getprice()

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
Range("A1").Text, Destination:=Range("C1"))
.Name = "quote.asp?sym=V4Y0"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = False
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = False
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.WebSelectionType = xlAllTables
.WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone
.WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
.WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
.WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
.WebDisableDateRecognition = False
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub

--------------------



with A1 containing:

URL;http://quote.barchart.com/quote.asp?sym=V4Y0

I get a debug error

any ideas?

Thx
