I face a very similar challenge to the one described by Cmaovca, the Nick
Hodge write-up almost worked for me.

After I entered the criteria screen, the "Import Data" window appears where
I should click the "Parameters" button. Unfortunately it is inactive. Why?

What database is the data in? A text file? Access? SQL Server?

If it's in Access, Nick Hodge has a write-up on his site that explains how
to use an Excel value as a parameter in an Access query. Be sure to read all
the way to the end of the article
