...
If I paste the following code in the address bar in IE, I get a window
asking
me if I want to open or save a csv file which has the monthly highs for
the
stock for the time period specified:

http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=(insert stock
symbol)&a=12&b=01&c=2007&d=01&e=01&f=2009&g=m&igno re=.csv

Here's the issue. I have a list of 332 stock symbols in a spreadsheet. I
need the code that will insert the first stock symbol after "s=" in the
above
address, save the file to a specific folder and loop thru the list till
the
end.

I have to evaluate these stocks on a monthly basis to determine the
market-to-cost adjustment. This would be my final piece to fully automate
the process.

Thanks for your help!
