1) Well, wait; of course the content of the web pages changes. But are you saying the layout changes on a regular basis as well? Because if the content changes, but the data are in the same cells each time, then your program can still work with it.

Oh, wait, you mean the URL itself changes? Sure, that makes sense; but still, isn't it better to update the link manually and have the routine do all the reformatting afterward, than to do both jobs by hand?

2) The fact that you have to pull more than one page is more reason to use a VBA routine, not less.
