I've got a list of movie names in column D and I use the following formula to search IMDb for the movie name in column D

Code:
=HYPERLINK  (  "http://www.imdb.com/find?q="   &D2   &"&s=all" ,   "IMDb"  )

Is it possible to make Excel go to the link of the first search result within that webpage that I am linking to.
Let's use this link as an example: www.imdb.com/find?q=Fight Club (1999)&s=all

Btw, the reason for this is so that I can retrieve real-time info from each of those pages for each movie link.
This is why I don't want excel to just select the link within the link but to automate that link before even landing on the search page.
I'll worry about the rest later.

Thanks a bunch.

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
IMDB prohibits the use of screen scraping to extract data. For alternatives see web api - Does IMDB provide an API? - Stack Overflow.

Thankyou for the reply.
I have no idea of half the vocabulary these people use in these forums.
My boss says I'm really good at access and excel and whatnot but when I come to the internet, I get an idea of how much of a noob I am.
Please explain the contents of that link very briefly and I'll try figure the rest out.
Thank you.
