Query Results from Oracle 8 DB to Microsoft Excel.

Question

Hi All,
Consider there are two systems in a network.
One system is having Microsoft Excel 2007 and Excel 2003
The Other System has Oracle 8 DB
Can you please let me know how to query the oracle DB from the Microsoft Excel which is in other network system.
Thanks,
John Dennis

I found the solution for my question which was answered by Rajiv Saggere on Nov 23, 1999 at 3:52 PM. Eventhough I am populating the data into a control block I am populate the data into that block through a query. So, I have copied the code that Rajiv Saggere has send as a reply for a similar question. I was trying the same earlier but some reason I couldn't populate the data. If anybody else need that answer to this question I am just copying that here in this reply.
Thanks you very much Rajiv Saggere.
