OK, Thanks. Sorry for asking a dumb question.
I have solved the problem anyway by running 19 append queries in a
macro, and (hopefully) letting them be dependant on the value of a
combo box. Then the excel sheet only needs one MS Query to retrieve
the relevant data from one table. Now I only need one spreadsheet
instead of a potential 200.
Thank all the Gods we live and learn!!
