Default Return MS-SQL database names to excel?

I have a workbook to which I want to return the database names residing in a
specific SQL database. I need the names in order to allow a user to choose a
database name. This name will then be inserted into a connection string
designed to import the data from the indicated database.

I am pasting in the basic connection string used once the database name is
known.
Also, if anyone knows how to translate this string into one that doesn't use
the array of arrays format...

Thanks in advance,
Mike


ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=Array(Arra y( _
"ODBC;DRIVER=SQL
Server;SERVER=CONTROLSERV001\WINCC;UID=;APP=Micros oft Office
XP;WSID=THE_MAN;DATABASE=CONTROLSERV001_H2gen#pc1_ TLG_S" _
), Array("_200409171428;Trusted_Connection=Yes")),
Destination:=Range("A1"))
.CommandText = Array( _
"SELECT Archive.ValueName, TagUncompressed.TimeStamp,
TagUncompressed.RealValue" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "FROM
""CONTROLSERV001_H2gen#pc1_TLG_S_200409171428"".db o.Archive Archive,
""CONTROLSERV001_H2gen#pc1_TLG_S_200409171428"".db " _
, _
"o.TagUncompressed TagUncompressed" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) &
"WHERE Archive.ValueID = TagUncompressed.ValueID" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) &
"ORDER BY Archive.ValueName, TagUncompressed.TimeStamp" _
)
