Is this possible. To explain myself, here is my situation. I created an
Excel Spreadsheet that uses an ODBC link to a SQL database. In order for
anyone to use this file on their PC, that same ODBC link must be setup. Is
their some code I can use within a Select Statement that will allow me to
bypass having to create an ODBC on everyone's PC?

Thanks.

Hi Preacher Man,

You've cross-posted this to a bunch of newsgroups, some of which, for
example microsoft.public.fox.vfp.queries-sql, don't even apply to your
question. What you haven't done is post to a relevant Excel newsgroup. Try
posting this question (and your other one) there.

Someone will probably tell you that you can use a connection string or a
DSN-less connection as described here:

that.)
