Default Sample code

The best way of getting code when importing data from a database is to use a
learn macro. the code can be modified if necessary later.

1) On worksheet go to Tools - Macro - record New Macro
2) Import data using menu data - import external data - import data. then
manually select the data you want to import. You could also do a query.
3) then stop recording. If you need modification then post the record code
so changes can be made.
