Thanks Ken and Joseph.

Although it was far from funny at the time, in retrospect the whole thing is kind of funny. Joseph's point about the error message is precisely the cause of my grief. I would have investigated the IP address much sooner if the message had simply said "No SQL server there."

If I don't remember this next time, then shame on me.

This is a really interesting way to populate a spreadsheet, and it can insure that the data is the latest information available. I am very impressed with this concept.
