Hi,

I have a saved macro that queries the FT fund site to get some
financial data and it works great. however, as soon as I start to break
up the URL string and add my own variables to it, it stops working. Does
anyone know if I have to do something special to get this to work:

'Even with this small change it doesn't work where we are specifying
the day! -tried sDayGet as a string and a single

'With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
'
"URL;http://mwprices.ft.com/custom/ftfundcenter-com/html-fundsHistorical.asp?symb=F1%3AMGITA&countrycode=F1 %3AMGITA&mwHistDate="
*& sDayGet &* "%2F07%2F2005&x=19&y=12" _
' , Destination:=Range("E1"))
' .Name = _
'
"html-fundsHistorical.asp?symb=F1%3AMGITA&countrycode=F1 %3AMGITA&mwHistDate=29%2F07%2F2005&x=19&y=12"

'this works

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://mwprices.ft.com/custom/ftfundcenter-com/html-fundsHistorical.asp?symb=F1%3AMGITA&countrycode=F1 %3AMGITA&mwHistDate=29%2F07%2F2005&x=19&y=12"
