Web Query question | Receiving data from a password protected webpage

[Plastikman]

Dear Excel experts!

I would like to automatically collect data from a password protected webpage but I can not find a proper way to do it. I manage to log in on the main page but then I can't collect chosen data. Any ideas?

My code so-far...

Sub X11LogIn_Open()

[COLOR=#008000]'I didn't wrote "the login code". It is something I found earlier in a excel forum. Slightly re-coded though

Dim IE As Object

    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    IE.Visible = False
    IE.Navigate "http://www.xperteleven.com/" [COLOR=#008000]'login (main)page[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#008000]'Check for good connection to web page loop![/COLOR]

Do
    If IE.ReadyState = 4 Then
    IE.Visible = False
Exit Do
    Else
        DoEvents
    End If
Loop
    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:05"))

[COLOR=#008000]'Wait for window to open![/COLOR]

    IE.Visible = True

    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:05"))

    Sheets("Query").Select

        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .BackgroundQuery = True
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .WebSelectionType = xlSpecifiedTables
        .WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone
        .WebTables = "11"
        .WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
        .WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
        .WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
        .WebDisableDateRecognition = False
        .WebDisableRedirections = False
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With
End Sub

Many thanks

I don't think you can combine IE automation and a web query; at least I've never seen it done. You'll have to use IE automation and HTMLDocument parsing to import the web data by looking at the HTML source. Searching the forum should find many VBA examples. Also, the log in can be done using IE automation rather than with SendKeys which is unreliable.
