Default Query Error? (Works in mySQL)

I have the following query. The point of the query is to select data from a
table where the date is the most recent date.

select * from pax.poa_132 P1 inner join (Select Max(ArchiveDate) as MaxDate
from pax.poa_132)P2 on P1.ArchiveDate = P2.MaxDate and ACCOUNT_ALIAS = '1XA';

This query works in MySql Query broswer.

I am trying to use this query to import data into Excel 2007. I have set up
my odbc connection using MySql ODBC 3.51. When I get to the last step, to
place the data into excel, I have the ability to edit the query. This
pulls up Microsoft Query (which I have never used before).

I click on the SQL button and add in the query above. I get this message:

SQL Query can't be represented graphically. Continue Anyway?

And then this error:

Unknown column 'P2.MaxDate' in 'on clause'

Thanks in advance for any help.
