Default How do I use the ActiveCell's contents as a string for a web query


I am trying to set up a macro which will use a web query to retrieve
files corresponding to the data in row 1 of my spreadsheet (ie. a list
of values for each name in row1).

So, essentially I want to have a series of names in row 1 (ie.
A1=Smith, B1=Jones, C1=Dudley etc), and then have the macro so that
each of them returns a web query from the address
http://www.class.com/[value].txt (so that it returns a query from
http://www.class.com/Smith.txt etc.)

I have set up the macro so that it asks me which name to query (ie. I
have worked out how to do a dynamic web query), and so that the
ActiveCell is the correct cell, but I still have to click the cell each
time.

Can somebody please help me.
