Ed:

I have never tried this.  It's probably feasible to use the ActiveX Document
Wizard.
Put your text box into the document and using ADO connect to your DSN. Once
you have
set your connnection string and Recordset then it should come up on the
screen.

To read SQL, put a text box in your document and query from there. I have
only glanced
at this and my solution may not be the best, but it should work.
