I'm trying to do this as well.
the help in MS Query recommend to use DDE. But since DDE is technology used
in VB 3 and VB4, can't really find any reference how to do it.

u can click on help in the MS Query and there is a section on DDE.

Is there anyway to dynamically invoke €œQuery Wizard€� or €œMicrosoft Query€�
programmatically from automation or VSTO?

The €œQuery Wizard€� is the one that comes up in the menu: Data\Import
External Data\New Database Query

I need this to build SQL statement to import data from a SQL server.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
