(Using Excel 2003, XP Pro, SP2) The other day I wanted to import data from a
website, and accessed Data > Import External Data > New Web Query. The
dialog box which opened up already had my hotmail website page entered and
was already opening that page. The drop-down address bar also included a
Nikon site which I recall visiting only once. I have never imported data
from either site in the past, and the only website I'd ever imported data
from was not listed on the drop-down address bar. I had to delete the
hotmail address and enter the URL of the site I wanted to import from.
Although the import was successful, this apparently did not change any
settings as the next time I accessed New Web Query, it still automatically
started downloading from my hotmail site. Does anyone have an explanation
for this behavior and/or suggestions about how to prevent this from
happening? It's a minor annoyance, but I'm really curious as to how the
hotmail site seems to have become my "default" web import source.
Thanks for any info.
