2.2.8.5 Web Connections

  • Article

A Web connection pulls the content of a Web page, or part of a Web page (an HTML table), into the workbook. An external connection is a Web connection if the idbtype field of the BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.80) record is DBTWEB (section 2.5.31). Properties of a Web connection are specified by a BrtBeginECWebProps (section 2.4.71) record that MUST follow the BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.80) record. If a Web connection has parameters, these parameters are specified by a BrtBeginECParams (section 2.4.64) record.
