May I suggest using Visual Basic to prompt the user for the variables,
change the SQL statement and retrieve the data via ADO/ODBC/whatever?

Save the spreadsheet as a Template to the users PC and they can select
File-->New, select the Template and run the query.  The original Template
remains ready for use and the user ends up with the data they wanted.

I have several samples that create an icon for the user to click on,
retrieve the user's input, modify the SQL statement and retrieve the data.
Contact me offline if you want me to send them to you.
