The link below goes to the Yahoo finance web site and loads IBM stock data 
into a web browser. I am trying to grab the stock data from this web page 
table so I can save it into a .CSV text file. I have been using the a third 
party VCL component for downloading web data but grading the stock data has 
proven very difficult. Does anyone know how to grab the data from these HTML 
tables?


The link below loads stock data into an HTML Table
http://table.finance.yahoo.com/d?s=IBM&a=6&b=31&c=2005&d=7&e=27&f=2005&g=d


The link below loads the stock data into a spreadsheet
http://itable.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?a=7&b=27&c=2004&d=7&e=27&f=2005&s=has&y=0&g=d&ignore=.csv


Thanks
Larry Johnson
