Get stock prices from a web source

[L Mehl]

Hello --

My app tracks a stock portfolio.

I want to get stock prices from a web source; example finance.yahoo.com

The URL Yahoo creates when I manually enter a symbol is
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=goog

Can someone point me to a discussion of how to extract the quote and date
such a URL?
Or,
is there a simpler way?

Thanks for any help.

Don't know if it'll work for you, but take a look at the recent thread
"Using a web browser control".

Especially if you're using Access 2003, you might look at using a web
service...

Thanks Rob and MacDermott --
