iSeries and Microsoft Query (Excel)

[<lgoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anybody using Excel and Microsoft Query (Data, Get External Data, New
Database Query)? I'm trying to use this to run arbitrary SQL selects and
bypass creating download files.

When I enter the SQL, I get the error message "SQL Query can't be
represented graphically." I OK this non-error. However, the next error
is "Could not add the table 'vngdbdta/dbnxcpp'. One of the table selects
is vngdbdta/dbnxcpp. I verified my ODBC connection uses *SYS naming; the
library list shouldn't matter as I'm qualifying the table name.

 

Does anyone have suggestions on getting around the "Could not add the
table ..." error in Microsoft Query?
