Microsoft Excel:

Notes:

• For 64-bit versions of Microsoft Office, the ODBC Add-In must be installed. Within Excel, select Tools / Add-Ins and select the 'ODBC Add-in' check box (if necessary), then click 'Ok'.
• The steps differ if 'Use the Query Wizard to Create/Edit Queries' check box is selected when SOTAMAS90 is selected.
