Write SQL queries in Excel to retrieve from Access Database?

[Neeraj]

My database is in Access 2000. and I want to write queries
in Excel to extract data and place it in a complex
sequence of reports.
Is it possible that I can get results of SQL SELECT
statements by writing it directly in Excel or by using
some sort of VBA functions. If yes, how ? Guidelines and
URLs would be welcome.

Thanks in advance
Neeraj

This might be a help for getting data to and from Excel and Access: It
includes examples of using variables in SQL queries.
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/sql.html

Or you can get there from the "Excel with Access Databases" section on page:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/examples.htm

It demonstrates how to use SQL in Excel's VBA to:

* create a database,
* create a table and add data to it,
* select data from a table,
* delete a table,
* delete a database.

You can also download the demonstration file called "excelsql.zip".

The code is open and commented.
