                    It would appear that it does not work with Excel 2000. I did, however, fire up Quattro Pro 11 and it worked. Quite interesting, never knew you could use File->Open for a URL.

                        With excel 2003 you could capture and even refresh table automatically. 1. Select Data->Import External data->New Web Query 2. Type the URL of the website in the address field 3. Execl automatically allows you to select the table 4. Finally click on Import 5. Select the cells where you want to place the table. 6. You can refresh the data whenever you desire by clicking on refresh data

                              Very strange. It will not work for me under Excel 2000. It informs me that the document is no longer available. Quattro Pro, on the other hand, will perform the operation successfully.

                                  Does this trick work in any browser besides IE? Opera, and FF don't do this.

                                    hmm, dunno. you can open the website directly from the open file dialog of excel 2003 (and maybe 2000?) -- just type the url of the website in the filename box.
