I have a SQL Server stored procedure I need to run from within an excel
spreadsheet, if that's possible.

The stored procedure takes about three minutes to run, and the end result is
10 columns worth of data. Ideally, I'd like for those 10 columns to be my
spreadsheet's 10 columns.

Are there code snippets out there I can look at to learn:

1. how to connect to a SQL Server database via excel (hopefully using a
DSN-less connection-- I have a connection string), and
2. how to call a SQL Stored procedure from Excel, and snag the resulting
data.

TIA,

-Jim
