Anthony,
Maybe this will help. This is what Jim posted on his site with
ref to download of Yahoo data
"The Stocks_XLS spreadsheet has the VBA
source included in it to extract the data needed from the Yahoo financial
website. It was developed on XP with Excel 2003.
For those that know
VBA, run the modExtract.RunExtractor to pull the data in from the
website. This uses a simple (and crude) Internet Explorer pull to open the
webpage and pull in the data. It then loops through each of the Sectors, then
drills down into the Industries, and lastly goes out and pulls each Company
information down. Since this using plain VBA for all extraction, it is very
slow. Expect 12 hours to do an extract...
Next run the modAB.AB_Start
to take the data from the spreadsheet and copy it into the AmiBroker database.
This takes about a minute or less.
The source is provided as is. You
may modify it anyway you want and redistribute it as you see fit. There is no
guarantee that it will work or of any errors in the code. Additionally, we are
not related in way with AmiBroker software and cannot answer questions about
it."
I am not familiar with "VBA" but that seems to be the key. Hopefully
you or someone can figure out so we can update fro Yahoo.
