A client wanted to be able to capture the search results of a query to the website www.CARMAX.com, and put it into a spreadsheet. He would then use this as a tool for his buyers to know the "market price" of various car models from a day to day basis.

What you will see here is an interim model, used to develop the product. It captures the HTML in an I-Frame, parses the table of search results, and writes the results into an Excel Spreadsheet.

You may also use "Load Yahoo" and "Clone" to watch a duplicate of the web page be created in the second window.

In order to open excel, it requires the increased privledges of an HTML-Application. You can run it from a remote location, and most functions will work fine. However, if you wish to see all functions, such as cloning, you must download the application, and run it from your desktop.
