Funny, I myself used to wonder about this. Unfortunately, Google Docs is incapable of returning a URL; consequently, it can't be used to determine object numbers to my knowledge. However, it should be possible to write a script, in which you input the item's exact name, and then returns the object number. AgingMiser thanks a lot for your reply. I would like to know how to write a script like the one you suggest! For now I prepared some VB code in Excel (I am not using Google Docs, I find it too limiting) which does the job, but the other way round. My code doeas the following: - cycles from 1 to n - apply the ItemHTML on the page in the GE with the details of the market change of an obj number (for example with number 864, I apply itemHTML on the page: http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/viewitem.ws?obj=864 and will get the GE page for the bronze knife) - I will retrieve the whole page like this (no table numbers available!) - in row 70 I get the names of the item associated with the obj number. By doing this for "a lot" of numbers, I should end up with a full databse of obj-numbers/item-names. Of course this takes ages and I have to do it in blocks of, let's say, 1000 numbers per sheet. Good news is that, from some test I have done, I can see that when a number is not associated to an item, I get the string "Error", so at least it's easy to eliminate the unassociated numbers afterwards! I will finish preparing the script and will run it at night... ;) Ciao! :)

Obj numbers... Great guide! Thanks a lot. I was thinking for a while to do my own calculators and didn't know where to start from. Thanks to you I managed now! :thumbsup: I still have a question though...: is it possible to know the "obj" number of all the items? It would be nice to set the URL to go directly into the GE and take the whole table of the results to work on the data on there. To be clearer I will make an example: the link "http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/viewitem.ws?obj=5933" will show the GE page for the Willow branch. I would like to know that Willow branch has obj=5933 by just querying (somewhere) for the name Willow branch. How can I do that? Thanks in advance for your help! :rolleyes:
