Maybe just try doing Data Get External Data New Database
Query..........with the Macro recorder on and see if thats what you're
looking for.......


Otherwise, here's some code from one of my Queries....(don't ask me to
explain it)g


Dim inputstr

Const sFileName As String = "BOMQuery"

Worksheets("BOMQuery").Activate
inputstr = Range("BOMNumber").Value

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=Array(Arra y( _
"ODBC;DSN=fs1 - MSS-Fourth
Shift;ServerName=FS1.1583;ServerDSN=fs1 - MSS-Fourth
Shift;UID=clr;PWD=chuck;ArrayFetchOn=1;ArrayBuffer Size=8" _
), Array(";DBQ=M:\Mfgsys\System;CODEPAGE=1252;")),
Destination:=Range("A1"))
.CommandText = Array( _
"SELECT ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.END_ITEM, ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.LEVEL,
ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.PT_USE, ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.SEQN,
ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.IN_REV, ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.COM_TYP,
ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.COMPONEN" _
, _
"T, ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.COMP_DESC, ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.QUANTITY,
ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.COMP_UM, ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.QTY_TYP,
ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.PARNT_DESC" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "FROM
ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "WHERE
(ITEM_MULTILEVELBILL.END_ITE" _
, "M='" & inputstr & "')")

.name = "Query from FS - MSS-Fourth Shift_1"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = True
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With

Range("Parnt_Desc").Value = Range("L2").Text

End Sub
