I need to collect data from 4 web sites on a daily basis, place it into an Excel spreadsheet and refresh the data every 20 seconds. The names/titles of the data will change daily but the data will be same. I would prefer this to operate from Excel but I am open to other [login to view URL] user needs to input a start/stop command.

Data to collect:Live sports prices for each horse race meeting each day
The receiving spreadsheet: Use the day's date as the filename eg 130904
