Default Parameters Button Greyed Out Why?

Trying to add a cell reference as a SQL Query parameter, but the
Parameters... button is disabled. If I do a web query, the button is
enabled. Can we not use parameters with SQL queries?

Your query needs to have a parameter in it. Most likely your query does not
require a parameter so XL has no way to pass it a value.

Is Microsoft Query the only place you can add those parameters? I haven't
been able to specify parameters for any of the OLEDB data sources, either
directly or from the wizard. Is there a way to get to the Microsoft Query
tool for non-ODBC data sources?
