ODBC Excel add-in does not work/is not supported in Office 2007?

[Guest]

Greetings,
We have employed the Excel ODBC (open database connectivity) add-in in all
prior versions of Microsoft Office. We use this to pull data from SQL and
Access databases into Excel. Though I meticulously installed the add-in
after upgrading to Office 2007 Pro, and though it seems to display as
correctly installed, it does not function. I have found no useful
information on other forums including the main Microsoft knowledge base and
Office Help areas. Any info and tips would be appreciated.
Thanksl

See if this helps. Don't forget to; Tools|References and check the box for
'Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library'

Use the highest version that will still support your clients.
