Default Downloading historical stock data from MSN Money to Excel via VBA

Currently, I can manually download historical stock data from MSN Money in an
Excel spreadsheet by first displaying the chart for the stock, and then
selecting "File - Export Data". Previously, I was able to achieve this via
an Excel VBA macro using the following web query URL:

http://moneycentral.msn.com/scripts/...&FileDownload=

However, MSN had changed the URL during one of their site upgrades and the
above URL no longer works (and I suspect some or all of the parameters have
changed as well). Does anyone know what the new URL is? Basically, I want
to be able to download historical stock data via an Excel VBA macro as if I
were doing it manually via the site's chart module (File - Export Data).

Thanks,
-Alex
