Default QueryTable for url works in 2000, but not in xp

I am trying to import a table of a web page to a spreadsheet. It works
well
in Excel 2000. I even have a macro for the import. But after moving to
Excel
xp, the macro does not work anymore. Here is the coding of my macro:

Sub Get_page(conn)
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=conn,
Destination:=ActiveCell)
.Name = "HKEX stock lots"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = False
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = False
.RefreshPeriod = 0
' .QueryType = xlWebQuery
.WebSelectionType = xlSpecifiedTables
.WebTables = "4"
.WebFormatting = xlNone
.Refresh
End With
End Sub


I called Get_page with
Get_page("URL;http://www.hkex.com.hk/tradinfo/stockcode/
eisdgemw.htm"). But
it failed to import the table I want. Instead, it insert the whole
page into
ActiveCell. I commented the ".QueryType=xlWebQuery" because it failed
with
invalid argument or parameter.


I tried to import by handle instead of the macro. I use Date - Import
External Data - New Web Query - put the url in Address - Go - the
page
displayed - I select the table I want - Import. - OK. But it failed
with
"File cannot be opened because Reference to undefined entity 'nbsp'
Line 14,
Position 568". The table does have some text in some of its cells
which is standard HTML.


Same web page does not have any problem in Excel 2000. Can anybody
help?
