Default Downloading Worksheets

Dave,
It depends on how the web site has written the HTML/Scripting to construct
the web page.
It would seem that Excel is unable to determine where the data is, because
the HTML does not appear to contain tables. This may be because the site
does not want to facilitate automated access to its pages.

Depending how the web site is set up, you may be able use the URL to send
the login and/or filename data. e.g.
http://TheWebite.com/somepage.html?u...=yourexcel.xls

Otherwise you work with the web page/server with an instance of IE or
WinHttp (MS WinHTTP Services)

The specific time part should be easy using the Control PanelScheduled
Tasks within Windows.

The website I am trying to import the data from does have the "yellow"

arrows
next it in the Web-Query browser. Do you know what this problem could be?
Thanks.

Do a web-query and under the query properties you can set how often to
