Excel 2000 - Microsoft Investor Stock Quotes.iqy no longer works?

[Suzanne]

I have been using the Miscrosoft Investor Quotes.iqy saved query to update an
excel spreadsheet containing my portfolio for several years.This week when I
clicked "Enable Automatic refresh" I receive the following message:
Unable to open:
http://investor.msn.com/external/excel/quotes.asp?SYMBOL= (my portfolio
symbols follow) Cannot download the information you requested.

Other saved queries such as Microsoft Investor Major Indicies.iqy are also
not working.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Suzanne:

I'm having precisely the same problem that you describe. I know that
it wasn't happening one month ago, because I used the same spreadsheet
at that point and there was no problem.

Here's a URL about a similar problem that someone had earlier this
year:
