Default Automating Web Query import

Ther are tow basic mathods that can be used.

1) Perform a web query. First setup a Reord Macro (Tools - Macro - Start
Recording).. then perform one query manually by going to Data - Import
External Data - New Web Query. Next modify the the recorded macro as
required to add a loop changing the chemicals and the destination location so
the data doesn't over-write each other.

If one above doesn't work

2) Open an Internet Explorer application in Excel. through the Internet
Explorer request each chemical and extract each results through the Internet
Explorer Application.

Let me know which approach you want to use. I can help with both approaches.

I use hyperlinks for chemicals that access a webpage for the individual
compounds showing tables of data for that chemical.

I have a large list of chemicals and I want to automate the downloading of
specific data in the tables from the web pages.

The chemical data is stored in the same format of tables on each webpage.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
