For years I have been using ms query and xlodbc
drivers/add-ins to get data from my Oracle db for
custom financials. With this version of Excel I have now
I cannot find through the addins or on the web site how
to get the Excel odbc driver that I need to run the
many, many financial that I have to create for year end
business.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks

The following add-ins are no longer included with Microsoft Excel 2002, and are not available for downloading:
Autosave Add-in (replaced by Auto Recovery features in Excel 2002
MS Query 1.0/2.0 Compatibilit
ODBC Add-i
Template Utilitie
Update Add-in Link

Im sure if they are not in 2002 they are not in 2003

I did find out that Microsoft does have the excel 2002 XLODBC.XLA on the web for download.

The install doesnt work because it looks for Excel 2002 but if you place all the files in the Addin folder on your hard drive then browse out to it through tools/addin in Excel they seem to load fine and work.

If you have a compression program like WinRar, Winzip, etc, just right
click on the downloaded file and select Open Archive (it may be under a
second menu item with the programs name)

The files will be listed in there, just extract as necessary

Think of the file as a zip file with a exe stuck on the front of it
