I dont know anything about databases but I need to access one from a
spreadsheet.

When I try to open a db connection I get errors that seem to point to a
driver error.
Is there a standard driver for excel to use for odbc?

I am trying to access an oracle db. eventually It will be automated but
right now I'd just be happy to be able to access it manually.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin
