Hi there,

I got some problems with web queries in Excel (meanwhile Excel 2007).
I read several lists from a website and write them into my tables. Now
I get following error message telling me that the file could not be
accessed:

::
Laufzeitfehler '1004':

Auf die Datei konnte nicht zugegriffen werden. Versuchen Sie die
folgenden Lösungsvorschläge:

o Überprüfen Sie, ob der angegebene Ordner vorhanden ist.
o Stellen Sie sicher, dass der Ordner, in dem sich die Datei befindet,
nicht schreibgeschützt ist.
o Vergewissern Sie sich, dass der Dateiname keines der folgenden
Zeichen enthält: < ? [ ] : | oder *
o Der Dateiname darf nicht länger als 218 Zeichen sein.
::

The proposed solutions don't make any sense imho. The first item
suggests to verify the existance of the folder being accessed. The
next one tells to assure the folder is not write protected. The
following tells me that specific character shall not be used within
the filename (at least the question mark could be used in dynamic
websites afaik) and the last one says the filename should not be
longer than 218 characters.

I have no problem using the created URL in a browser or even in the
internal browser for data queries in Excel. But as soon as the query
is being executed, I receive above message.

I use this code since several years, but now it doesn't work anymore.
Can anyone help? Anyone an idea?

Regards,
Yasin
