I am currently running web query to retrieve a table from the NBA website using
http://www.nba.com/schedules/index.h...edate=20090205 ,
where the date at the end changes from day to day. I have no idea how to use
a parameter for a web query. Would greatly appreciate any help anyone can
provide. Thanks, Jai
