Hi,

Try using a slightly changed URL in your filename statement as follows:

FILENAME website url "http://www2.census.gov/acs2005/Tables_Profiles_Subject_Tables/010Nation/United%20States.xls" debug;

If that does not work then please explain what you meant by "did not work" and share your log with any error messages.

Regards,

Amir.
