Body
<p>Thanks again mwolfe. I've posted my code below but what you provided is much more elegant. I know that the SICs are only 4 digits so I was lazy and made that an assumption in the code and that could throw up errors in the future. You can see how I did it in the commented out part.</p> <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>Sub GetSICs() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim AWBN As String Dim ASN As String Dim CIK As String Dim NUM_FILES_TO_GET As Long Dim COUNTER As Long Dim SICTagPos As Integer Dim SIC As String Set IEbrowser = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.application") IEbrowser.Visible = False AWBN = ActiveWorkbook.Name ASN = ActiveSheet.Name Workbooks(AWBN).Sheets(ASN).Range("A1").Select ActiveCell.Offset(0, 11) = "SIC" NUM_FILES_TO_GET = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("A:A")) For COUNTER = 1 To 3 'NUM_FILES_TO_GET Application.StatusBar = "Counter = " & COUNTER 'SICTagPos = 0 CIK = ActiveCell.Offset(COUNTER, 2) IEbrowser.Navigate URL:="http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html" Do DoEvents Loop Until IEbrowser.readyState = 4 Set frm = IEbrowser.Document.forms(0) frm("CIK").Value = CIK frm.submit While IEbrowser.Busy Or IEbrowser.readyState <> 4: DoEvents: Wend SIC = ExtractSIC(IEbrowser.Document.body.innerhtml) 'SICTagPos = InStr(1, IEbrowser.Document.body.innerhtml, "SIC=") 'SIC = Right(Left(IEbrowser.Document.body.innerhtml, SICTagPos + 7), 4) ActiveCell.Offset(COUNTER, 11).NumberFormat = "@" ActiveCell.Offset(COUNTER, 11) = SIC Next Application.StatusBar = False Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Function ExtractSIC(SourceHtml As String) As String Const PrefixChars As String = "&amp;SIC=" Const SuffixChars As String = "&" Dim StartPos As Long, EndPos As Long StartPos = InStr(SourceHtml, PrefixChars) If StartPos = 0 Then Exit Function StartPos = StartPos + Len(PrefixChars) EndPos = InStr(StartPos, SourceHtml, SuffixChars) - 1 ExtractSIC = Mid(SourceHtml, StartPos, EndPos - StartPos + 1) End Function </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
