It probably would be better, but I'm still getting to grips with VBA and SQL.
;)

I'm a project manager (not an IT one) rather than a techie, although I do as
much techie stuff as I can as I don't like to be helpless...

Better to move away from MS Query and code with ADO where you have

Hi,

I'm used to using MS Query to return data to Excel, but there's a whole
stack of queries that I run each month (literally, dozens) where the date
range needs to be changed.

I'm wondering whether I could put the chosen date ranges into an excel
spreadsheet, maybe in the format:

Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4
sheet query start date end date

...and use VBA to modify the SQL for me.

Alternatively, can the SQL itself be written to request a parameter from a
particular location?

Any ideas? This could be a massive time saver!

Cheers,

Tom.
