webquery URL with brackets
Hi
(1) Try breaking up the http string like http://domain.com" & "[]" &
"otherstuff"
(2) You might try to use a single quote delimiter '
Hope it helps

I need to programatically pull down a web page with a URL that
includes brackets. Excel *thinks* I want to be prompted to enter
paramenters. How can I disable the parameters and/or escape the
brackets if they need to be included in the webquery link.
I did try encoding the brackets to %5 for [ and B% for ] but I still
get prompted to enter parameter values.
Here is an example URL with brackets:
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?w0
[]5D=t&Submit=Submit&FcstType=digital&textField1=44. 9477&textField2=-93.1037&site=mpx
Thanks.
