I have a database I can access through ODBC. I'm familiar with how to
populate the spreadsheet from the database, but would like to find a
way to populate a drop-down list with information from a table in the
database, *without* dropping the list onto the spreadsheet (i.e., if
this were a validation box, we'd access the query info directly instead
of referencing a group of cells).

I imagine this can be done with some programming but its a weak point
of mine - can anyoen help?
