Thanks Rick. Looks like the link broke in the middle. Everyone should just go to the wiki page at:
http://gwmicro.com/wiki and from there just bring up the list of links. The article will be listed as a link starting with "getting ...", and so it's completely easy to find, and introduces everyone to the GW Micro wiki. I'm afraid I don't know what SEC Edgar and xbrl is that you are struggling with? I doubt I can help, as this article really is just an "introduction" meant for those who have never interfaced an app with the internet before. Probably each internet technology and topic deserves its own article to keep them from getting too large and cumbersome. What I'd really like is for someone with experience in use of JSON with VBScript to add a section on this. I know Jamal wrote a library app designed to make it easy to translate a JSON object into a standard com object usable by VBScript, but it's no longer supported as far as I know, and has little documentation. Would be great if someone showed how a VBScript app might use this or some other technique to get JSON info.
