EXCEL: to retrive data from the web

[Aldo Pellizzi]

Hello,
I am an excel novice.
I would like to know whether it is possible to make use of a VBA program or
some other mechanism so that I may instruct excel to automatically retrive
data from the web or, even better, an XLS file containing financial data from
"Yahoo finance" and load the data upon startup.
An example of the data I would like excel to fetch and import can be found
at http://finance.yahoo.com/
How may I configure excel for thios task? Thanks.

Practice a few times, then turn on the macro recorder before you do a full
run through. Hit Alt+F11 to see the code. You should learn quite a lot from
this exercise.
