getting data from web

[mp]

this snippet gets data from web url and puts into a range
is there a way to intercept just the returned csv string directly?
I can use this, put into a temp range, then read
from the temp range to do what i need to,
but if I could just get it to return the string
I could also just parse that.( I see that the following works, but
really can't understand how by looking at the code)


....when this is run i'm on a 'Temp' worksheet just as a holder for the csv
string
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="URL;" & qurl,
Destination:=DataSheet.Range("a1"))
.BackgroundQuery = True
.TablesOnlyFromHTML = False
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
.saveData = True
End With

Range("a1").CurrentRegion.TextToColumns
Destination:=Range("a1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False,
Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, Space:=False, other:=False

thanks
mark

did I understand your problem?????
in internet explore if you donwload a page with tables from web and if you right click there is a provision (somewhere down) "export to excel". if you click that the table is exported to excel.
will this be helpful.
