Thanks to dicks-blog.com I've just recently managed to find out how to access
web pages and bring the data back to Excel (2000) VBA even when it's not in a
table. The possibilities are very exciting. But I have run into two vexing
problems.

1) The same code that retrieves the collection of links on a page --
essentially, Document.Links -- works with two homepages and fails on a third.
The links on the third look the same to me -- static links with plain text
anchors.

2) One of my tasks is to list out the links in a sort of tree structure. It
would make sense to do this recursively, up to a user-specified number of
levels deep. But I started with a non-recursive model, figuring it would be
easier to debug. Moving to the second level, I load the page that the first
link points to, and grab ITS link collection, storing that in a different
variable. I process the page and come back to the first level. At that point,
trying to access the links collection so I can process the next link gives me
an Error 70, Permission Denied. This happens even if I reload the first-level
page and then try to re-retrieve the collection.

Since I've already stored the links collection in a variable, it shouldn't
matter that I've left the page where I got it from, should it? And why can't
I re-retrieve it even if I reload the page? Reloading is an abuse of
bandwidth and would make the macro take much longer to run, so I really want
to preserve the loaded links collection and just keep referring to it.

TIA,
