i have a macro that automatically runs a query in an external database
(teradata) and puts the results in excel...the query is very simple...e.g.

query = "select * from mytbl"

i would like to use the same idea for more complex queries (multiple joins
and conditions, etc), however when i paste the query into the macro, the
formatting causes issues (e.g. the query text is highlighted in red). how do
i incorporate the new query? i tried using _ to connect, but at one point i
received a message that too many were used.
