Many thanks for your input Roderick but on viewing the suggestion I found
the function differs to the extent that it cannot be incorporated into my
(former Excel based) spreadsheet application. For now I'm having to run a
dual boot function using MS and OpenOffice.

equivalent Add-in for Open Office?
OOo can access such websites now. But if you are looking for an example,
please try
http://www.pathtech.org/oootemplates/Business/Possible-stock-template.stc
I am uncertain of its provenance and recommend you use this template
with caution.
You might also like to check out

and the Calc chapter for information on using External data.
