Jane,
I haven't worked with Excel in a while but I have fetched data into datasheets from Oracle tables. The code I recall using opened up a recordset using DAO or ADO and then looped through it and inserted it into Excel. You can find examples by searching MSDN msdn.microsoft.com. Maybe there is an easier way but I do not think so. My bet is it is going to require some programming. I just remembered the other day I ran across a site with a tool called oraexcel or somthing, I tried looking for it and could not find it, maybe someone reading this will have a link.
