I would like to link an Excel Spreadsheet to my SQL 2K Database. Where do I
need to start?
For example. I would like to have a cell in Excel that gives me the sum of
Sales Orders in my SQL Database. I would also like for this to be able to
change according to a date field in excel that can be set.
Thanks for any help.NNTP-Posting-Host: bouldincorp.com 207.144.150.195

So far I have tried using Microsoft Query, and I have entered my Select
statement. Here's another question though,
How do have a select statement that changes according to what is in a cell
in Excel. For Example:
Select <field> from <table> where <field>=<Cell in Excel>
