    How to download data from password protected website?

    Hi,

    I would like to download in Excel a particular piece of information from a password protected website.

    First I would like to show the particular piece of information on a web browser.

    1. Go to: http://www.dukascopy.com/traderconte...ntestStandings
    2. Click on Log in on Upper Left corner - under Sign in Forex Community
    3. Username: xxxxxxxxxxxx and Password: xxxxxxxxx
    4. Once you have logged in - on the very first page (Trader contest leaders), click on any traders name appearing next to the country flag.
    5. On the next page - there is a button on Right side with a description " Subscribe to Signals" - click on that button
    6. On the next page - there will be This Signal Provider ID - in a text box

    I would like to download the signal numbers for all the contestants and I am writing a macro to list all the contestants and their signal numbers.

    If I log in to dukascopy website - I can open the webpage on browser with the following link where I can replace the contestant's name one after other.
    http://www.dukascopy.com/traderconte...kname=DJchaton

    But I don't know how to login first using the macro in Excel.

    Please help.

    Thanks and regards,
    Excel Learner
