Can I edit .iqy file from code?

[Nathan Gutman]

Is there a way to edit an .iqy file from code before running the
actual Web Query?
For example when downloading stock prices which require a list of
stock symbols how could I edit the iqy file from an Excel macro before
actually using it.
I know that I can edit it manually using Notepad.

Thanks,
Nathan
One step forward and two steps backwards.

It is just a text file, so you can use low level file io

File Access with Visual Basic® for Applications

If you're querying Yahoo for stock quotes and want to see a file that
doesn't use .iqy files, then drop me an EMail and I'll send it to you.
