Ok, I have tried the following and get no results:

Dim sqltext As String

Function runquery()
sqltext = "SELECT WoDate FROM Natop.dbo.workmast WHERE (WoDate Between
'%start%' And '%end%')"
Sql = Replace(sqltext, "%start%", "01/01/2005")
Sql = Replace(Sql, "%end%", "04/25/2005")
sqltext = Sql
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"ODBC;DSN=Natop_Sql;UID=YI016695;APP=Microsoft ®
Query;WSID=4DNR331;DATABASE=Natop;Trusted_Connecti on=Yes" _
, Destination:=Range("A1"), Sql:=sqltext)
End With


End Function

that'll teach you ;)


sql example:
"SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StartDate'1-Jun-04' AND EndDate <
'15-Feb-05';"


sqltext = "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StartDate'%date1%' AND EndDate <
'%date2%';"
sql = replace(sqltext, "%date1%", format$(mystartdate,"dd-mmm-yy")
sql = replace(sql, "%date2%", format$(myenddate,"dd-mmm-yy")

set the two variables mystartdate and myenddate to whatever and the code
will replace the two 'tokens' accordingly

I have designed a query that I want ran from within Excel but I want
the
user
to provide some data, such as a start date and end date, and then I
want
this
data inserted into my query. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

Normally, I have just been asking them for this criteria and then
running
the queries myself, but now I want to develop something that my users
can
enter their values and press a button and then have it run the query
and
pull
the data into a spreadsheet. I am new to this and I recorded a macro
while I
did the manual process.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
