Read File From URL
Hi. I've done this before, maybe back in 1999 or so, but have
forgotten how and can't find the xls file with the macros. It was rather simple as I recall, but may have just been reading and processing a csv file for stock information. Anyway, I'm using Excel 2003 at the moment. I am looking for a way to build a querystring from cell values (no problem), read a file from the resultant URL, then extract some values and populate other cells (not really a problem). The trouble spot is the reading from a URL, plus a snag. The URL points to a frameset. One frame contains XML which has some of the data I want. (I can't just read the inner frame directly because that URL is built by the containing frameset.) So how can I a. read a URL to get the frameset and the included URL for the inner XML document; b. read the XML doc from the URL I retrieved in (a)? Any help is appreciated! Thanks! -bill |
