I use web queries to grab data from password-protected sites all the
time. The key is to login to the web site first. That creates a login cookie for later queries to use (provided that is how security is handled on the site). You can go through a manual web query process, but don't need to actually import anything, but just go through the login process. In most cases, you can alternatively use IE to login to the web site first -- that usually creates the login cookie as well. For some sites, I've only had to do that once. Other times, I need to do it once per EXCEL session. It depends on when the cookie expires.
