Hi

Is there any procedure with VB to mimic something like the 'get external
data from web' function within Excel.

I would like to import currency exchange rate data from a web site and show
the results in a listview control.

Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

TIA

That's not VB, that'sVB.Net; you need to ask in a group with "dotnet" in the
name. This group is for VB 6 and earlier versions.

In that case you're in the wrong newsgroup. This group deals with Visual
Basic, the last and final version of which was VB6. Any questions relating
to the imposter should be addressed to the imposter's own newsgroup. Try:

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
