Hi friends, For the sake of learning I just keep doing some thing or the other, mostly in excel. Once something occurred to me and this is what I have accomplished so far -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NT6IYrTqew Please view the video to understand what exactly I am talking about (recommended in full screen for better view). As can be viewed, whenever I need to add a movie details in this file I have to manually enter the same. Before this, I tried several movie manager softwares, but none of them seemed perfect (due to one or the other problem). These movie manager sofwares use scripts (PHP or Sql, may be, I have no idea) to connect to different movie database sites (imdb, amazon, etc.) and then to automatically download the details, covers, etc. My question - is there any way we can make some thing similar to those scripts OR incorporate one of them in VBA to retrieve these details via Excel only. The reason why am I asking this - I have 1200+ Hollywood movies, 200+ Bollywood movies, 300+ Documentaries, Over 40 seasons of various serials (Prison Break, Two and a Half Men, I dream of jeannie, Lie to me, Big bang theory, How I met your mother, etc.) and some other stuff. Now you all can easily understand that I would loose all my hair if I had to update all these.....manually. Any and all ideas are welcome. I would be happy to share further details if anyone is interested in working with me on this.
