From: Dale on 5 Mar 2010 17:16 I have a master spreadsheet that I want to convert to xlsm format. However, I have two other spreadsheets that utilize MS Query to pull data from my master spreadsheet. How can I convert my master spreadsheet without losing the MS queries I have built in the other two spreadsheets? Is there a simple conversion process? I have tried to update the individual ms queries but I keep on getting error messages when I point to my master spreadsheet with the xlsm extension. Thanks.

The "problem" with MS-Query and Excel 2007 is that instead of downloading the query to a data range, it downloads it to an Excel 2007 TABLE. You can convert the table to a data range if you want to remove the query. I have the same issue. So I create / modify the query on a machine running Excel 2003 - this version works with both 2003 / 2007 and allows my 2003 legacy code to work. The legacy code fails if I try to run it against a query that was edited or created in 2007. --- frmsrcurl: http://msgroups.net/microsoft.public.excel.programming/Converting-MS-query-from-Excel-2003-to-Excel-2007 |
