The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Asked by SShowler in Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Applications

I use the Excel web query feature extensively within Excel 2000 programs.
That feature works fine when I can go directly to the Web page; but there are instances where I must:
1. go to the portal home page
2. identify myself with an ID and password
3. then navigate through several web pages until I reach the appropriate page that has the data I need
Is it possible to do the above three functions all programically without any user intervention?
Basically I currently accomplish the above as follows:
1. issue a followURL, with an address of the home page
2. issue a msgbox which suspends the Excel program
3. paste the clipboard
When issuing the followURL, control passes to the web browser. Then the user does the following:
1. keys in the ID and password
2. navigates to the proper web page
3. does a right click
4. left click select all
5. another right click
6. left click copy
7. click the Excel program on the task bar, which returns control to the Excel program
When returning to the Excel program, the clipboard contains the information of the appropriate web page. Then the clipboard can be pasted to a sheet, which then emulates a Web QUERY.
The above works, but it?s not neat and clean, and error prone.
My inclination tells me it?s not trivial what I?m asking for. I believe basically I need some direction of where to obtain documentation such that I can educate myself in this area. Any general snippet of code that might lead me in a direction of investigation might be helpful.
It seems to me the only way possible to accomplish the above, is something as follows:
1. obtain a copy of the HTML program,. which is no problem
2. learn it?s internals I?m not proficient in HTML, but I can get there.
3. emulate the actions the user would do.
It?s step 3 that I have no idea how to do.
Thanks for any help.
