RE: Encapsulating external data access (was Normalization)

Sorry, I thought you were familiar with ODBC access from Excel.  ODBC is
after all the MS standard; you can access ODBC tables from Excel, and
you can also access Excel spreadsheets as ODBC data.

To learn about importing data, just use the help documentation for
Excel.  Go into the Contents, select "Importing Data" and then "Setting
up Microsoft Query and Data Sources".  This chapter deals with reading
ODBC data into Excel.  I haven't done much with this, but I think you're
looking for an "external data range".
