[AccessD] Bloomberg data

Bloomberg/Reuters provides a web service sort of through FIX protocol
You may need  access to the Bloomberg Tradebook, F/X, Energy or 
products, or you will be unable to use the API  software.
which you may need to upload Bloomberg Trading Data into Microsoft Excel 
via the FIX Protocol.

Easiest to connect in VB.Net or via excel

If they have an open webservice via SOAP then Access XP or 2003

or difficult in Access97 need something like Pocket Soap
Yahoo used to provide a downloadable xls or similar csv file with market 
figues, haven't look at in a couple of years.

Or if you aren't paying for a subscription service and expect 15 minute 
delay

You could pass this sort of  info through xmlhttp request and parse the 
returned html
Sort of flakey cause the html could change monthly unless they return 
xml which would make parsing easy
