parameter query
 

I have regularly used parameter queries ie using square brackets to prompt
the user for a data value to run excel queries. This has worked fine.
Recently we are installing new pc's with standardised software and the
parameter query doesn't work. It seems to set it up OK and the sql shows the
correct syntax but on running and entering the parameter no error is
indicated but no results are shown either. I have a lot of jobs using this
technique. Has anybody any ideas whether it is something to do with how
office is installed or is there a switch somewhere ?
Both old and new pcs are windows xp
