I couldn't get the query top work. Instead of using an internet explorer to
get the data. It puts the results on sheet 1 using Column A and Column B
from sheet 2.


Sub WebQuery()


[snip]

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True


[snip]

IE.Navigate2 URL


Joel's demonstration code is REALLY interesting to me.

I run Excel 2003 with IE7 on Windows XP SP2.
A second machine has a similar system, but with Windows XP SP3.

I think I have a configuration issue in IE.

At "IE.Visible = True", an instance of IE is shown with Favorites open;
on the 2nd machine Favorites is not opened.

"IE.Navigate2 URL" results in a 2nd instance of IE being opened -
probably a child of the 1st - and IE.readyState retains a value of
READYSTATE_UNINITIALIZED. On the 2nd machine, the URL is opened in the
1st instance and IE.readyState soon goes to READYSTATE_COMPLETE which I
infer is 4.

What should I do to correct this problem?
Where should I read about the methods (and properties) of the
"InternetExplorer.Application" object?

Thanks!
