Web Query: Not Able To Login

Rate this: (3/5 from 1 vote)

	Hi all, I am trying to run a web query using VBA, but not able to pass through the login screen. I am using the following code for the query.  I am trying access the website using the URL: [http://www.inkresearch.ca/coReport/coReport.php?ticker=AN] When I access the website thorugh a browser, first I get a login page at [http://www.inkresearch.ca/] Once logged in, I get http://www.inkresearch.ca/myInk.php , where I enter a ticker like 'AP' to go to the desired webpage. Can you please suggest a solution to this problem? Thanks, MG. VBA Code: Public Sub InkWeb() Dim MyPost As String Dim MyUrl As String Dim PostUser As String Dim PostPassword As String             MyUrl = Trim(Range("A1").Value)         ' URL PostUser = Trim(Range("A2").Value)      ' Username PostPassword = Trim(Range("A3").Value)  ' Password     MyPost = PostUser & PostPassword     With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _     "URL;" & MyUrl, Destination:=Cells(5, 1))     .PostText = MyPost     .BackgroundQuery = True     .TablesOnlyFromHTML = True     .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False     .SaveData = True End With     End Sub
