I want Excel to import data from the website
http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/ for given
postcodes, unfortunately it only works if you physically type in the
postcode on the web, as putting the postcode into the PHP style URL
doesn't work. Is Excel able to do that?

Basically I want something like this
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/
LeadKeyFigures.do?a=3&b=5939933&c=" & Cells(i, 17) &
"&d=14&e=16&g=409939&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&enc= 1"

this seemed to work when I recorded changing the original screen. I'm US so
don't understand UK postcodes.

.WebSelectionType = xlEntirePage
.WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingRTF
.WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
.WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
.WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
.WebDisableDateRecognition = False
.WebDisableRedirections = False
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub

Sorry I should have been more clear, it does work mechanically, but it
doesn't pick up the right area, the area is bascially determined by
b=5939933.

Dirk

Since I am not familiar with UK numbers and you can't explain it to
me,perhaps someone else can help.
