EXCEL CACHING ...
Hello,
As you asked, I revert to the subject: I've tried all of the suggestions : they all work sucessfully. Only the FindKill of Bernie Deitrick poses problem because of the "myfile*" which, in this case, cannot be precisely defined. So : a big thank you NOW: In this specific case, I came to think that a full refresh was not necessary. In fact, IF I could just access two cells of the web-site resident .xls file, I could accomplish my update as well. QUESTION: how can I get the contents of http://www.MYSITE.be/TestPHP/profsactual.xls Range ("AJ64") and Range("AK64") (my Excel 97 SR-2 is localized in French and I keep using Excel97 when developing for others just for compatibility reasons) I think this could be done even without opening the file ? Another one more way would be to access to the mysql dbase from which the ..xls file is derived : but, here again, this might pose problems when porting to different users who don't necessary have the right references checked. This is really an interesting thread and I do appreciate the collaboration of all of you. regards from Belgium.

It's ignored by the webserver however. Tim. ==== I've never used it. If you try it, please post back with your results. affordsol wrote: Hi everyone ! In my Excel application, I use the following code to get a table from my web site: Sub ReadWeb() Workbooks.OpenText FileName:="http://www.MYSITE.be/TestPHP/profsactual.xls" End Sub To my greatest surprise, the output does NOT reflect the actual changes done to that file ! Is Excel using some "caching" as IE does ???? Thanks and regards from Belgium, Hervé+ -- Dave Peterson |
