Default Web query in Excel

Trying to get a couple of updating columns for upcoming races out of the TAB web page: prices, scr, horse name. I swear I remember being able to do that a few years back.

I would open up my page, and next to my own figures would be the TAB figures telling me if they were scratched, or shortened etc.

I tried it today has the TAB been changed and I could not find table (no arrow to press) - or is my memory playing up and it was to be got from elsewhere?

What are the best sites to go to for this.

Thanks

The VIC & NSW Tab sites changed before Xmas & now run on flash which means web queries are no longer possible & access to what you want has been replaced by an abomination know as 'Rapid Bet Web Services' which only requires a programming background to use...

The Tatts site is still ok (for now)


Oh & apparently the changes were made because thats what punters wanted...

You have to use XML - they have an example on the tatts bet site.

XML or web queries work on Qtab site but not the nsw/vic site.
