Yes I append much table info to clipboard and use Excel to sort on volume
price etc.
Do you know what menu option web query function is under? I use Excel 2003?
Any idea where i might get more info learning this function?
I will read more about the tool James posted but not until tomorrow.
I really want to automate gathering the info. I would love to get my hands
on a sample of source code for ResearchIt. I could use that as a model and
then take it up a notch. Is this source code available? Does anyone know
what tool or computer language ResearchIt uses? Thanks,
