hi, is it possible to use the shell command to send a password to
msquery when msquery prompts for password when updating query.

i usually open databases with ado but in this case i cannot do so.
And i'd like to refresh the query automatically when file opens.

Edit the "connection" property of your Querytable, and add
";password=whatever"

Right-click somewhere in your dataset Data Range Properties... Save
password...

Another one I check is to "Fill down formulas in adjacent columns..."
at the bottom of the dialog box. This is great for grouping or
conditioning data for use in pivot tables. (Example: a date cell to a
month or day of week or using a nested if to return values)

Jay
