How to Scrape Unstructured Data from the Web into Microsoft Access (VBA Tutorial + Real Example)

FIRST AND FOREMOST: Apologies for being late getting this out. I recently left my employer of 15 years for a new organization and the transition was a little hectic. For this tutorial, I’ll show you how to web scrape unstructured data using Microsoft Access and VBA — no external tools required! You can do it all with VBA. Unlike traditional table scraping from sites like Wikipedia, we’ll tackle unstructured HTML content, extracting and transforming it into a clean, structured table inside Access. This is a powerful way to pull web data directly into your database for reporting, analysis, or automation. We’ll scrape country names, capitals, populations, and area sizes from ScrapeThisSite.com, loop through the content using MSXML2.XMLHTTP and the HTMLFile object, and then insert it into a freshly built table (tblCountries). I’ll also show how to prevent duplicates using a dictionary, and include a bonus function to check if a table already exists. If you're a data analyst, researcher, or Access developer looking to bring live web data into your local database — I think you will find this video interesting. Want to automate recurring data pulls or build richer reports in Access? This is the perfect starting point. Don’t forget to subscribe if you want more MS Access + VBA + data automation tutorials!
