So I've been delegated the unenjoyable task of trying to get a Microsoft Excel file to do what one would typically do with Access. It sucks.

In my poking around Excel, I found Microsoft Query buried deep within the menus, which is able to query spreadsheets much like Access would. In fact, it appears that I'm perhaps running a bastardized version of Access from 1992, featuring the new "everything's flat" user interface, which is leaps and bounds better than the ribbon one. ;)

Anyhow, is anyone aware if it's possible to automate Microsoft Query with Excel macros, or is this a pipe dream?

start recording a macro, do an internet query then shut off the recorder and read the code that excel wrote.
