Access: Updating end of day Share values from Yahoo finance

am about to make an addition to my database that might make life much easier for users that are not normally accustomed to using it.

I have a table in my database; which holds Historical_stock_data and Historical_currency_data (Values to convert Share Price into dollars) in the other table. Each of them have basically got four & three columns (StockCode, Dates, SharePrice, Volume) and (CurrencyCode, Dates, Rates) respectively.

Now at the end of each trading day; I need to update the both tables. There around 200 companies in the database; and currently I basically have a portfolio in Yahoo finance holding all 200 companies which I download into Excel and edit so it matches the columns; and then manually update the database by adding to the table. (I can use the transfer spreadsheet method as well to do this but I ran into a problem once with it so do it manually now; my coding skills are not the greatest)

The currency prices, since there are only around 6 currencies in the database to dollars; I update them manually; this is not an issue at the moment; but if more companies from different countries are included than it would be easier; and besides it is 开发者_如何学Goalways better to automate things; so was wondering if this was possible as well.

So if there was a way to update these values directly into Access at the end of each day without having to bother with Excel; that would be great. If there is then if I'm shown an example of what sort of code to use with just one example; I should be able to finish it.

Search on "yahoo stock price excel" and you should find lots of sample code. Then convert the code to using recordsets/tables instead of cells and you're done.
