I'm trying to suck the data off of a web page, however they've managed
to hide the data such that it doesn't appear even if you "view
source". The data is there when you view the page normally, and in
fact you can even select and copy it. However, when trying to grab it
by looking through what comes down the pike, it's just not there. How
does one get the data off a site like that?

VBA 6 & Excel 2000

Thank you
 
What does "looking what comes down the pike" involve?

Google for "IE automation": that should allow you to access the rendered
Document.
Not possible to say anything more specific without a URL.

I think I figured it out. If I run into the problem again, I'll be
back. Thank you for the responses and sorry for the trouble.
