Hmmm, it works but the third value pasted is pasted as a date. Bizarre, probably not an issue as the pasting is not what I need, just the key reading (like inkey$). Thanks for your replies, Rob.

Sorry, Rob, I don’t know where to paste this in the VB Editor (Module, sheet or workbook) and when to press F6. Can you talk us through this a bit? I’m interested in trying it as a surrogate inkey$ routine. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps. I’m using Excel 2000 if it helps.

Any idea how to convert a duration of “16h” to “16?. The “16h” is a result of linking from MS Project 2003 file (Duration column) to an Excel 2003 program (Duration column). Thank you

Very useful example. I use sendkeys to paste the header of invoices from Excel to an ERP application. I put the F6 approach into my macro. Now I paste from Excel row by row.

I’m embarrassed to say I’d never used that tool before, Rob – very nice. It does exactly what I want, except the pages I’m pulling data from have to go through a login sequence and/or the URL is generic – I think that has something to do with how the data is requested – session variables vs passed through URL. Thanks for the reply! If you have any other thoughts, I really appreciate it. Feel bad that I haven’t (and from the sounds of things might not) contributed anything to this board before asking for help.
Thanks again -

Russell: Have you tried a Web Query? It’s available from Excel’s Data menu under Import External Data, New Web Query.

This may not be the place to ask, but I’m trying to do the reverse… I’m using an IeApp navigated to a specific URL that has data I want to copy back to Excel. I’m trying to avoid using SendKeys, but if I did it would go like this:
IeApp.Navigate…
Ctrl A (Select All)
Ctrl C (Copy)
Switch back to Excel
Ctrl V

Any thoughts on this? I’m not a VBA expert – finding the IeApp code was a major accomplishment for me.

Jon:
That's what I am using, If you have R installed on your machine,You will need to download rcom and DCOM and of course RExcel.Although RExcel gives you most of the tools needed to import and export data, one needs to modify the code slightly to adapt it to each particular situation.Also, There's the Rcmdr (R Commander)package that is very helpful for R beginners and don't know how to write R code.A new version of RExcel just came out a couple of days ago,check it out here:
