Use this to open the url in excel and then play around with datatext to
columns to extract desired data.

Sub OpenUp()
'Workbooks.Open ("C:\MyFolder\MyBook.xls")
Workbooks.Open ("http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt06.htm")

The address for the site is
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt06.htm
Appreciate your patience and insight. In the meantime, I'm homeworking the
"macros" and "loops" you mentioned.

I can't be of help if I can't get to it. If I can I will try to help.

Pardon me, Don, but the correct address ends in "/fbt06.htm" not "ftb".
Additionally, macros and loops are foreign to me. Can you simplify the
process?

Anyway, have you tried right click in the field import to excel? You
can
then record a macro and then modify to pull in the variables in a
loop.

1st I'm a novice so please explain accordingly. I've attempted to
copy
data
from a web page (www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/ftb06.htm) and
paste
onto
an
excel worksheet (excel 2003 and/or 2000). The dialogue box informs
me
that
the copied info is not the same size as .... and after proceeding
the
data
is
pasted into column A only. I'm seeking help that will enable this
info
to
be
separated into columns that will allow me to paste the team names
and
their
associated ratings only and update this info on a weekly basis.
welcome
and
appreciate any and all help
