This number does not seem to be working anymore. Has the host changed something on the website?

I just tried it with ticker MMM and it worked fine here. Do you have the new
smf-elements-1.txt file from the "Works in Progress" folder of the files
area of the group? I had to redefine a number of elements due to MSN site
changes back in January.

2.1.: RCHGetTableCell

Randy, I have been using the RCHGetTableCell function for retrieving data for awhile now and it has been working fine. Today it only returns "error" for every single instance which is a few hundred times. The Yahoo site seems to be working fine. Is there anything you can suggest for me to try to resolve this?

I had another key issue with my spreadsheet yesterday and today but I think it's unrelated. I was extracting data from my broker's web site by simply copying data. A new problem surfaced for Friday's data in that the prices from the web site had an invisible character following the price which made calculations malfunction. It turned out to be a chracter 160 (non breaking space) but I have no idea why it suddenly appeared.

Gary

Without specific examples for me to look at, there's really not much that I
can do to help...
