Default MS SQL Connection and Retreival


Hey all,

I have recently started dabbling in VBA and have been asked to connec
an Excel Workbook to a MSSQL Server. I have not done this before an
would like some help please!


Things i do know:
1. Server Name
2. Username and Password will have to be the Windows Logon details
3. The table i want to access

Things i don't know:
1. How to connect to the database (DSN-less)
2. How to run a query and use the results ( 5 values)



Basically all i want to do is open a connection to the <SERVER an
retrieve details based on a selection on a field entered on a UserForm

This document has plans in being distributed so I would prefer to use
non-DSN connection!

Thanks for your help
