I will press the button and nothing happens. When I go to the Module, Im getting errors on the first "/" in "url:="http://". Amazing concept though. I run a retail chain and I would love to autopopulate weather stats into my Performance chart before I send it to home office! -Jordie SO will this work with Office 2003?

Is there an easy way to parse this line and display it correctly? I got the code to work substituting the new URL for the old, but all the current conditions are concatenated to a single line with ” | ” characters and the occasional hex.

Is there an easy way to parse this line and display it correctly?

Thanks for testing it out, unfortunately I don’t have Excel XP currently installed, however a quick search turned up this:

It looks like to import a URL you need to use DATABINDING. You can read more on it about halfway down on this page.

Just a guess:

Change this line of code

ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps(“weather”).Import URL:=”http://www.weatherunderground.com/auto/rss_full/” & _
state2search4 & “/” & city2search4Corrected & “.xml”

To this

ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps(“SalesOrder”).DataBinding.LoadSettings _
URL:=”http://www.weatherunderground.com/auto/rss_full/” & _
state2search4 & “/” & city2search4Corrected & “.xml”
‘return it
ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps(“weather”).DataBinding.LoadSettings _
URL:=”http://www.weatherunderground.com/auto/rss_full/” & _
state2search4 & “/” & city2search4Corrected & “.xml”

ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps(“weather”).DataBinding.Refresh

That works in 2003 also, and according to the article I linked to should work for you,, let me know how things turn out.

I had trouble getting the weather workbook to work. I am working on Excel XP on Windows 2000 Professional. When I click the button to get the weather, nothing happens. When I remove the On Error line, I get an error with the XMLMaps(“weather”).

Is there something I can do to fix this?

Thank you.
