I have tried querying the database directly from Excel, but with no success.
I keep getting error "3706 - provider cannot be found". Besides, I already
am doing other queries in Access, so the data is there.

Thanks for the link to the other newsgroup thread. It looks like another
problem for Microsoft to fix. I have sent them an error report a couple of
times that Excel crashed. Maybe it's something .NET will address and fix.

Thanks
