Import Historical Stock Data from Yahoo-Finance

R

For a long time I thought this was not possible, but I just read a post
recently that makes me think that this probably IS possible. Is there a way
to import data from finance.yahoo.com, into a table, if you store all stock
symbols in a table, and put beginning and ending date in a form (in a couple
of TextBoxes)?

I know how to do this in Excel, with all stock tickers in a row, like row 4
(or whatever), and all the dates going in descending order in Column A, and
each security’s historical prices under the symbols (which are in row 4, for
instance). The problem in Access is that this would need to have three
fields, such as Date, Symbol, and Price, and the list would get very long
(rather than wide, like the way it would be done in Excel). I know the
format would be similar to this:
3/19/2010, MSFT , 25.59
3/19/2010, SBUX, 24.97
3/19/2010, S, 3.76

Is there an easy way to get VBA to import this from the finance.yahoo.com
site?

Thanks,
Ryan---
