Hello all
I am new to Web Queries and my vb isn't much good either.
I need to go to a specific page enter a string from a list into the
search box on that web page and download the results into excel. I then
need to go to the next string on the list and so on.
I have managed to create a query that will download the first 10
results.
What I would dearly love to do is get the next results and then load up
the next string.
A tall order but much gratitude to anyone that can help.

Perhaps you could give us the url and exactly what you want. I do this for
clients all the time where you create a macro with a looping variable to get
web data.
myurl=ddddd" & myvariable & "eeee

The URL is http://www.bda-findadentist.org.uk/. I enter the first part
of a postcode e.g. TN1.
Many thanks for responding.

With xl2002, simply goto the url>enter the postcode>click find a
dentist>right click in the resulting table>export to ms excel>record a
macro>data>edit query>change the end of the url

I inadvertently forgot to say that I was using Excel 97.
I however managed to download all the hits for one postcode so now need
to implement your insts on the inputbox/cell reference to create a loop
and therefore complete the task.
Thanks again for your help.

The kind of web query that I mentioned can be adapted to xl97. You are
invited to send your workbook to my address below along with detailed
instructions and I will see what I can do.
