Here is the missing piece that takes the extracted data from Yahoo copies it to a variable named lcfile and copys that data to a cursor. And now you know the rest of the story...

I was referring you to the Universal Thread magazine only to show you the value of this publication. While it is not free, it can save you a lot of time and very quickly pay for itself. I believe that the older (say 1 year old +) editions are freely accessible. Check out the following article by my good friend Hector Correa that shows you how to create and control Excel PivotTable's from VFP. Really some great stuff and something you will probably find of great interest:

   CREATE CURSOR stockquotes ( ;
    Symbol c( 8 ), ;
    LAST Y, ;
    DATE D, ;
    TIME c( 8 ), ;
    CHANGE Y, ;
    OPEN Y, ;
    HIGH Y, ;
    Low Y, ;
    VOLUME B( 0 ))
  ENDIF

  SELECT stockquotes
  APPEND FROM ( lcFile ) DELIMITED
  SET SAFETY OFF
  ERASE ( lcFile )
  BROWSE
