    Background AutoRefreshing Web Query - incorrectly activating window upon refresh

    Hi all -

    I have set up a background, auto-refreshing web query that is giving me some weird behavior. The unexpected behavior is that on every refresh, the excel window where the query is located activates and places the cursor in that window. This causes lots of problems when I'm trying to type in other programs (like internet explorer). I think it has something to do with the specific website I'm scraping, b/c I can't replicate the same behavior on other websites. Is there a way to design this query to avoid this behavior and have it just run quietly in the background instead?

    The website is:

    Thanks,
    Ryan
