Thanks Paul, that worked a charm. I could (and probably should) leave it there - I recorded the steps and I can just drop them into my code as is. But, I'm curious. Here's part of what I recorded ...
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:=Array( _ "OLEDB;Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Password="""";User ID=Admin;Data Source=[source];Mode=Sha" _ , _ "re Deny Write; (and so on) I've never seen this type of arrangement before. The quotes delimit each line and the comma seams to break units up. For example, the comma appears to break up the word Share. Not that I understand the code at all, but I would have expected something like Mode = Share Deny Write, *NOT* Mode = Sha.re Deny Write. Is this format sacred?
