The menu names differ in different versions of Excel and you didn't say which you are using. Data / Get External Data / New Database Query (or similar) will take you to a dialog in which you are required to select a database. If the database is not already on the list then select New Data Source and click OK. Give a name for the database and select SQL server as the driver and click Connect. Then provide the information needed to access the particular database. Having defined the data source you can then select the tables and fields you want returned Hope this helps Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - respond to newsgroup |
