Answer 1

You might want to do it from within Excels VBA

Sub DisplayDBATables()

  Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
  Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset

  Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
  Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset

  cn.Open ( _
    "User ID=rene"        & _
    ";Password=my_secret" & _
    ";Data Source=XE"     & _
    ";Provider=MSDAORA.1" )

  rs.Open "select * from dba_tables", cn

  Cells(1, 1).CopyFromRecordset rs

End Sub

MSDN says Copies the contents of an ADO or DAO Recordset object onto a worksheet, beginning at the upper-left corner of the specified range. If the Recordset object contains fields with OLE objects in them, this method fails.
