Default Import External Data

I'm trying to import data from one spreadsheet to another using
Data/Import External Data/New Database Query.

Just experimenting with one column of data I can't seem to get it
working whatever I try. Invariably the message I get returned from MS
Query is "Invalid Bracketing name of 'xls." I get this message
whether or not I use the query wizard.

I can import data from the web OK - so that suggests something is
working.
I guess, because it is my first time, I might be missing out on doing
something important.

Can SKS help out or point me to a url that guides me through (haven't
yet found one that gives me the solution).

TIA
