When you set up an MS Query in Excel the first line of business is to state
teh database source.

The source could be a Database connection, or queries that you've saved to
the PC or wish to create based upon one of your connections and OLAP cubes.

What I would suggest is looking at the query in the original that's working
and see what it's using as its data source. Then verify that the same data
source is available on the second PC, the one where it's not working.

panel or is it in Excel ?

And thanks a 100000 for you help...
