Default Excel web queries using parameters

I am trying to setup a MS Excel web query based on the following URL:

http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/co...submit=Convert

This is the Yahoo currency converter web page

When I introduce a parameter for amount this works OK as follows:

http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/convert?amt=["amount"]&from=USD&to=JPY&submit=Convert

However when I introduce parameters for the from and the to currency this
does not work as follows:

http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/convert?amt=1&from=["from"]&to=["to"]&submit=Convert

Can anyone tell me why? What am I doing wrong? Is there another way around
this?

The only thing I can possible think of is that the from and to currency on
the web site are drop down lists of values where the amount field is not.

Many thanks in anticipation

RobC
