  >> Could anyone direct me to a historical data program for excel (possibly free)?
 
 Also not quite sure what you're looking for.  However, I have a free open-source add-in for EXCEL that can grab a lot of information off the web via user-defined functions.  The add-in, documentation on its functions, and examples and templates can be found in the files area of this Yahoo group:
 
 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/smf_addin
 
 For example, to load historical quotes for ticker MMM, you could array-enter something as simple as:
 
 =RCHGetYahooHistory("MMM")
 
 Or, to get current quotes on MMM and IBM:
 
 =RCHGetYahooQuotes("MMM,IBM")
 
 Or, to grab the Market Capitalization of MMM from the Yahoo Key Statistics page:
 
 =RCHGetElementNumber("MMM",941)
