Hello everyone!

You have probably noticed that Accuweather has changed their code and the DPC macro stopped working.  I have attached a file with the updated code for the WeatherAccu macro to reflect these changes to Accuweather's website. 

Instructions
1.  Download the attached 'WeatherAccu.vbs'; right click on the file and select 'Edit' to open the file in Notepad.
2.  Open the VBA editor by clicking the Visual Basic button from the Developer Tab.
3.  On the left side, expand the Modules folder, and double click on the WeatherAccu Macro.
4.  Select all the text in the macro by holding down Ctrl+A, and then press the delete key to remove the old code.
5.  Copy the text from the 'WeatherAccu.vbs' file and paste it in the WeatherAccu Macro.
6.  Press 'Save' and update your DPC.

Wasn't able to get this to open. Only Open and Cancel were available choices and Open got an error message. Any ideas?

Also, has anyone done a scraper for The Weather Network forecasts?

The DPC file we shared after the PFFWC has an up to date copy of The Weather Network Scraper.

Can you send a screen shot of when you right click it so we can see what the options are?

@alarsen The .vbs file posted above is the most recent version of the WeatherAccu scraper module.
