Web query from password protected page?

Hi, <br><br>I'm trying to create a web query from a web page that requires a username and password.  I have tried logging into the site in Safari (as well as Chrome and Firefox) before running the query, but when I do run it, the only data that's imported into excel is &quot;Username&quot; and &quot;Password&quot;.  <br><br>In the MS version of Excel it's pretty easy to enter the login information into the query (either directly or using VBA), but I can't figure out how to do so in Excel for Mac.  Does anyone know if this is possible.

For the record, the site I'm trying to query is: <br><br><a href="http://www.rotowire.com/draft/mlb/da_player.asp?id=10762">http://www.rotowire.com/draft/mlb/da_player.asp?id=10762</a> <br><br>> Hi, <br>

I honestly don't know the answer, but one thought that comes to mind from a
different perspective... Have you added the User Name & Password to your OS
X Keychain or had your browser "remember" it? If it's stored there perhaps
it will be accessed automatically or at least provide a prompt to allow.
