I have a need to use data that is entered into boxes on a web page form.
If I copy and paste the web page form to a blank Excel 2000 sheet, I can see the data. I can click on a cells of data. But if I move off the data area to an empty part of the sheet and move the cursor with the arrow keys, the cursor move under the data. I can not make a simple formula to add the data. It is like when you put a picture, or chart in Excel, the cursor move under it. I have also tried Data/Import External data/New Web Quary/then several combinations of radio buttons I do not fully understand. But either get nothing of the same thing as a regular paste.
I really wish I could attache the sheet so you can see what I see.
I hope I was clear.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
To share a workbook, upload it to a hosting site like Drop Box and paste a link here.
Can I have access to the web page for testing purposes?

Your table is made up of lots of individual objects. Try the code below to convert it into a regular table.

Code:
Sub KLund()
Dim o
For Each o In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
    If o.progID Like "Forms.HTML:Text*" Then
        o.TopLeftCell.MergeArea.Value = o.Object.Value
        o.Delete
    End If
Next
End Sub
