Since I have a couple upgrade woes with my Debian box,
my vmware has been inop for about 2 weeks. Therefore,
I can not fire up XP to check on some things. I have a simple question:

I am trying to provide an upgrade path for a client of mine, and
would like to roll out a MySQL server for him on the same
Samba box I put in. Is it possible to populate some Excel
"cells" from a MySQL db via ODBC? For instance, can
I open Excel, populate a drop down menu of Cusotmer names
stored in a MySQL db, and then have it populate cells
x, y & z with the customer info? I am just looking for
a "yes, it's easy", or "no, it's a p.i.t.a".
