Why do I have to restart Excel when ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Addfails? Options
I had posted this question a few weeks ago but got no answer so I am
reposting it again. Original post: So that you know, I’ve looked on various fora but except for the fact that Excel 2007 seems not to have this problem, I could not find an answer for previous versions of Excel. Here is my query: With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;http :// ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=BLABLABLA&ignore=.csv", Destination:=Range("A1")) .RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells .TextFileCommaDelimiter = True .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 9, 9, 9, 1, 9, 9) .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False End With Obviously BLABLABLA is not a valid ticker symbol but occasionally, even with a valid ticker symbol, the query fails, for example, if Yahoo! Finance website or the internet connection is down. Once a query fails, I need to shut Excel down to start a valid query. I cannot verify that the problem does not occur with Excel 2007 (I still use 2003). My questions a Does having 2007 solve the problem? Is there a workaround for previous versions of Excel? Thanks |
