Is it possible to connect to external date via an ODBC DSN. I want to
retrieve some Sage Accounts data into Excel using VBA instead of using the
Query wizard.

Thanks
Steve

Turn on the macro recorder and use the query wizard (data=Get External
Data). That should give you the specific code you need.

Of course if you mean without putting the data in the spread sheet, then you
can use ADO.

To find connection strings:

you probably want

ODBC DSN
File DSN

some information on ADO
