If you record a query in each version, you will see there are many
enhancements between xl97 and xl2003. I can only guess that perhaps xl97
doesn't recognize something in the xl2003 stored instructions and isn't
working.

That's about the only thing I have NOT tried. :) I'll give it a shot, but
I'd
like to know what is causing the problem.

Thanks!

did you try creating the query from scratch (in a new workbook) on the

'97 PC?

I would get it working there as a first step.

I have a parameter query that works fine on my PC, but will not
refresh
for a
co-worker. I am using Excel 2003 and he is using Excel '97. I used the
work
around of using a cell reference, as explained in the MSDN Knowledge
base,
but it did not "work".

I have 2 queries that work the same. One queries an Access '97
database,
and
the other queries an Excel '97 spreadsheet, so I do not think the
"problem"
is the data source.

Any suggestions/comments?

Thanks,
