Oxonian Trader,

Thanks for the help. I am still a little confused. If you don't have the time or patience to help, I understand, but if you are inclined to help me further I appreciate it.

I am using windowXP, and I downloaded and installed the latest version of JAVA (I'm not sure if I had the latest before or not). I believe it is version SEv1.4.2_01.

When I go to Environment Variables, under User variables I find: Path with a value of MGISHAREDDIR. Under system variables I find: Path with a value of C:\WINNT\system32;c:\WIN... (I can't read the rest). There is also a PATHTEXT with a value of .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;....

I have buttons for New, Edit, and Delete for each of these. I don't know if JAVA is in this path or not, and I didn't really understand how to add it if it isn't (I don't even know what a path is for sure). Thanks for any help.
 
Quote from Bob111:



all you have to do is provide list of stocks to download, date from -to and that place,where you want to store it.

then, all you have to do-is change ticker in URL-

http://table.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=QQQ&d=8&e=14&f=2003&g=d&a=3&b=10&c=1999&ignore=.csv

build a 2 simple loops(one will change tickers and second will go from beginning of open file till the end) and collect info. how tough it is for you? ...as i told you-you can do it even in excel. if person with degree in computer science(like you) can't-probably you are get paid for nothing(lucky you)

Bob did you write an Excel program for this download? If you did, would you mind sharing it. I would really like to be able to download from Yahoo into Excel automatically, but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks for any help.
