I've installed the Microsoft Query program to try to use excel to attac
and Query an external .mdf database.

I'm using Data:Import External Data:New Database Query.....
Then I can't seem to find an option for *.mdf files?

I've learned that it is a Microsoft Query "Master Database File"

Thanks for any help accessing this database

midavis,
According to http://filext.com/detaillist.php?ext...df&goButton=Go,
..mdf files are "SQL Server Master Database File".
I guess if you do not have SQL server or the drivers installed, you would
not see that option.
