Default ADO or DAO, or odbc query from xls sheet, to xl sheet?

How can I programatically execude an SQL query against
sheet(1).range() and populate the result set into sheet
(2). I am currently using the "Import External
Data" "Database Query" method, but I don't like it, as as
soon as you start to mess with the result set it wrecks
the range, and the query is lost.
I would like to not have any named range created storing
the query, I plan to manipulate the results. I would like
the solution to be totally VBA code, so the query is
remembered, and once the query is run, the data is just
data, not a refreshable, or auto updateable range.

I had done something like this years ago, but forget the
sintax. I remember there was a way to code and ODBC
definition, without having to cread an ODBC datasource
from control pannel. I don't want users to have any
dependencies, the spreadsheet should be totally self
contained.
