Hello,

I just wanted to note that--at least in Excel 2007--you can use the call syntax to call stored with parameters from Excel.

{Call ?,?,?,?,... ?} works just fine.

You're warned that the query can't be displayed graphically and that you can't use parameters--but it still works. You're prompted for parameters, you enter them, then you return to your worksheet and you're able to specify the cells (or hard coded values) that feed the ?s in your Call statement.
