    Web Qery Based On Form Field Input

    I wanted to grab data from a site that has 3 variables :Name, Start Date, and End date in the URL.

    Example:
    http://www.domain.com/pick-history.c...DATE&to=ENDATE

    How do i make 3 form fields and grab it from this unique url when they input those variables.

    Any help would be gladly appreciated.


    Thanks,
    Brian

    You don't need a form. Just set up the web query in EXCEL. It will
    prompt for the variables...

    For example:

    http://ogres-crypt.com/iqy/yahoo-current-quotes.iqy

    Try "MMM,IBM" for the first prompt (Tickers) and "sl1" (symbol and last
    price) for the second prompt (Yahoo data codes).
