Default Get External Data returns error message

Are you using Excel 2007 and Access 2007? Importing to Excel from Access?
Take a look at this John:

ADO would probably be better for you:

If importing from Access to Excel:

If importing from Excel workbook (to another Excel workbook):

Maybe I explained in too much detail. Basically, I'm trying to get external
data from an Excel range in another workbook by clicking:
Data
Get External Data
From Other Sources
From Microsoft Query
Excel File
(Point to the file)
Then I get an error message:
"too few parameters"

describe
the scenario in more detail?

Thanks,

I have 8 different workbooks that each have a worksheet called
CommissionDB.
I would like to periodically update those 8 worksheets from a master
database called Master.xlsm. I tried doing a "get external data/from
other
sources" from within the 8 workbooks, but get an error message "too few
parameters". Suggestions please?
