You can try SW Explorer Automation
(SWEA)
http://home.comcast.net/~furmana/SWIEAutomation.htm.
The following example shows how to get a table from the
http://newsite.tab.co.nz/racing/ Web site using SWEA. SWEAProject.htp
was created by SWEA Visual Designer. SWEA designer contains Visual
Table Extractor. The Table Data Extractor extracts tabular data from
the Web pages. If a Web page contains repeating information patterns
than the data can be transformed into ADO.NET DataTable object.
public static void Main() {
SWExplorerAutomation.Client.ExplorerManager explorerManager = new
SWExplorerAutomation.Client.ExplorerManager();
SWExplorerAutomation.Client.Scene scene;
explorerManager.Connect(-1);
explorerManager.LoadProject("SWEAProject.htp");
explorerManager.Navigate("http://newsite.tab.co.nz/racing/");
scene = explorerManager["Scene_0"];
scene.WaitForActive(30000);
System.Data.DataTable dataTable;
dataTable =
((HtmlContent)(scene["HtmlContent_0"])).TableDataExtractor.DataTable;
explorerManager.DisconnectAndClose();
}
The DataTable can be stored into text file (CSV) and loaded by Excel or
Excel application can be called directly from the scraping program.

Morning all,
Currently have Excel2000.
Would like to scrape webpage into Excel (ALT_D_D_W) from the URL-
http://newsite.tab.co.nz/racing/
It comes back with error message "Returned no data try editing
query"
(ALT_D_D_E)
Tried editing with no joy, can anyone out there overcome this
challenge?
