You may be able to do something like:

commandbars("Data").Controls("Get External &Data") _
.Controls("Run Save&d Query...").Execute

But you won't be able to maintain control over the process.

You might have to build your own interface and the setup the parameters to
the QueryTables.Add method.

I would like to be able to generate a query via a VBA
call, and would like the actual MS Query interface or a
wizard to allow the user to chose their own data source,
table, and sort criteria. Basically, I'd like to insert
data from a db or text file under program control.
