Can you make a macro that will go on to the web and retrieve info from
certain sites at certain times. Like I want to automatically get turn
by turn directions to an address and have it auto imported into excel
to be loaded onto a work order to be printed out.

Any info would be helpful.

certain times. you have to use

ontime function.

Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:15"), "my_Procedure"

Thank you for your help. That is awesome. Now I have something more to
go on. Atleast I know it can be done. When I record a macro do I go
online through a web query or with my browser? Oh well I'll just try
both.
