xml is different from what i have been doing in this short course, xml is the website designers way of providing all the information that a person needs to put that in excel.

The VBA that i have posted is excels way of gathering information from the website that is why not all information is able to be separated in to individual bits before download.

This is why some times you can download individual tables and other times you have to get the whole page and take what you need.

I am not good with xml i can only understand some from there example so i am not the best person to ask about this.

As for your comments about computers helping punters win, well to be honest i think it is the punter helping the computer win.

Computers are no smarter than what information they are given, they can calculate things and display other things in a layout that is easier to understand.

The speed they can accomplish these things can be very fast.
