M$ adds Mac-only Query X
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
December 9th 2002
This ODBC tool allows users to import databases into Excel X
M$' MacBU has announced the release of Query X, which uses Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC) to allow users to import data from databases into Microsoft Excel�X. Also,
Query�X can be used to create new queries or refresh existing queries that were
created in other versions of Excel, such as Excel�98, Excel�2001 and Excel for Windows.
Currently, Query X is only available in English, but the company states that versions
for other languages are under development.
M$ warns that before installing Query X, the latest Office update and a compatible
ODBC driver must be installed. This tool is available for free.
Editor's note: This is a nice addition to the products available from Redmond, but it
would all the better if the company took the time to make tools that both import and
export standards-compliant data.
