Default Query Parameters

I am trying to select data from an Oracle (external) table. I am using the
"Import Data" option. However, my "Parameter" button is not enabled (Grayed
out). Any idea why or how to get it enabled?

What I need to do is enable the query to pull in values based on the value
in a cell. for example, with the following query:
"SELECT EMP_DETAILS.DEPARTMENT_ID, EMP_DETAILS.LAST_NAME,
EMP_DETAILS.SALARY" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "FROM EMP_DETAILS EMP_DETAILS"
& Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "WHERE (EMP_DETAILS.LAST_NAME="MY_NAME)" -

I am simply trying to replace "MY_NAME with the value that is in Sheet 3,
cell B3.

Any help you could give me is most appreciated. I am stumped!
