I am also a newbie who just went through this same thing. I have never
worked with Oracle but I'm sure it would be very similar. You will need
to
install an ODBC driver into Excel for your database then you will be able
to
Import External Data Using Excel. After the driver is installed you will
be
able to select your tables and write your query. Good Luck!

I am using Excel 2002.

I wanted my VBA code to connect to Oracle, do a select statement, and
get data. Then I wanted to put that data into a spreadsheet.

My question is, how do I connect to Oracle via Excel. Is there an
example that I can get that shows me how to do this?
