    Oracle Data Exp into Excel

    Try this....

    Download the free QueryMaster file from Debra Dalgleish's website:
    http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html#External

    That file has an example of how to query an Oracle database.

    Does that help?
    Post back if you have more questions.

    Oracle Data Exp into Excel

    Assuming you're using MS Query to construct the query....

    First, on the sheet to receive the data.....
    Select 2 parameter cells.
    Format them as TEXT
    Enter a start date and end date (in an Oracle format) in those cells

    This section of your SQL:
    WHERE TRUNC(CR.date_of_disposition) between to_date('&p_from_date','DD-MON-YY')

    Could be written with a parameter placeholder:
    WHERE TRUNC(CR.date_of_disposition) between to_date([strStartDate],'DD-MON-YY')

    When you initially run the query from MS Query, you will be prompted
    for the value of [strStartDate]. Enter a date that Oracle will
    understand (eg 01-JAN-2007) and the query will run.

    If you're satisfied with the returned data set...
    Click the button to return data to Excel.

    At the next screen
    Click the [parameters] button and select that you want the
    parameters be read from cells. Select each of the cells.

    When done....MS Query will use the dates you entered in the param cells in the query and return the appropriate data.

    Does that help?

    Can you link to any Oracle tables via ODBC using MS Access?

    If No, from a quick Google seach, it seems you may need to update your Oracle ODBC driver.
