Hi

I am trying to write a web query in vba using the following code

--------------------------------------

sheets("Sheet1").selec

varconnection = "http://www.yahoo.com

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=
"URL;" & varconnection, Destination:=Range(
"A1")
.FieldNames = Fals
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCell
.RowNumbers = Fals
.FillAdjacentFormulas = Fals
.RefreshOnFileOpen = Fals
.HasAutoFormat = Tru
.BackgroundQuery = Tru
.TablesOnlyFromHTML = Tru
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=Fals
.SavePassword = Fals
.SaveData = Tru
End Wit

sheets("Sheet2").selec

varconnection = "http://www.yahoo.com

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=
"URL;" & varconnection, Destination:=Range(
"A1")
.FieldNames = Fals
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCell
.RowNumbers = Fals
.FillAdjacentFormulas = Fals
.RefreshOnFileOpen = Fals
.HasAutoFormat = Tru
.BackgroundQuery = Tru
.TablesOnlyFromHTML = Tru
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=Fals
.SavePassword = Fals
.SaveData = Tru
End Wit

------------------------------------------------------------

However, when the code gets to the .Refresh in the 2nd With block, it errors out with 1004 - Application-defined or object-defined error. What I can't figure out is this: This code works on my friend's laptop but not mine. This code works on my laptop when I connect to the internet via dial up, but not when I am on cable. I can't figure out why this would work in some of these situations but not others. Any help anyone can offer would be a life saver

Thanks!

I just tested your exact code in xl2002 and also in xl97. It worked just
fine.

However, I question what you are really trying to do since it would not be
the best to create a separate query sheet for each query needed and . It
would be better to use one query that you modify. I write stock retrival,
manipulation programs for customers all the time.

BTW. It is also not necessary to select the sheet first when you do it like
this.

With Sheets("sheet1").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;" & varconnection, Destination:=Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1"))
