I can reproduce the same phenomenon if I open the web page from Word as well
fyi.

Hi,
When I try to do a web query data connection into excel (which I do
normally with other web pages) to a page with flash I get the following
behavior:
-- the dialog box that shows me the web page for formatting into excel
works fine. that is I can see the page in the dialog box with all it's
formatting, data etc
-- however once I import it loses a large portion of itself and instead has
the message in the sheet (i.e. as if the remote page sent the text) "you need
to upgrade your flash player" (or words to that effect)). I have of course
done this and confirmed I am on latest flash. Does not help.
Please help in resolving this.
A colleague of mine had same experience on his excel too.. though he claims
he saw it come in once. He is in a different network environment. I am
running XP professional with Office 2007.
