Hi John,
A very simple solution ... Have you tried the "Get External Data" command in
MS Excel? This actually uses MS Query, which is not installed by default, so
you may have to have the Office CD to customize the installation.
Not only does it allow you to type simple SQL select statements, but it
provides a GUI to build them, if you wish.

Hi, guys....before I hit my company up for a seat on their Microsoft SQL
Server 7 Enterprise, is there a cheap (we might be talking about my money)
SQL application that I could load locally on Win2000 for doing simple
queries?
I'm accumulating a database of physical/virtual/cluster machine names,
databases names, MSMQ names, database tables, stored procedures, ODBCs, IP
addresses, etc., that I need to present in different views where I could
extract the information that I need in the sequence that I need it for
inclusion into documentation.
