Download from the Internet into Excel
When I download data from a particular website it automatically opens in the
internet explorer window as an excel spreadsheet. Thats fine. However the icons at the top of the spread sheet which allow copy, paste, save etc. are all greyed out which means the spreadsheet information cannot be used. I have tried this on another computer and it works fine so I assume it must be something to do with the settings on my computer any help? I have excel2002 and ie6 with windos xp professional |

explorer in that I cannot copy the spread sheet in view. "dominicb" wrote: Good morning Edward Will a macro suffice?

Hi Edward The code I've given you will open the workbook in XL, not IE, so you can edit it, save it etc. Open XL and in a blank workbook press alt + F11 Go to Insert Module Paste my code into the pane that appears (obviously replace my made up address and file name with the real one) File Close & Return to Excel Tool Macro Macros, Run should open the file.

dThanks for that - the macro worked but the web address produce by the
datbase company is not an XL file it ends in *.htm - so it does not import. Why does it read ok on other computers?
