If you get into some tricky web browser issues you can also visit the DOM
with internet explorer embedded browser control.. (or firefox embedded or
chromium embedded). Then you can copy whatever html table you want into
whatever format you want... just visit the table via the dom, or visit any
of the html web page components and deal with it.

But if fast html parser does the job... it's simpler.
