Nope. sigh I'm working on converting the spreadsheet into Notes, which I DO have.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Can one run SQL queries against Excel data in Excel?

Theoretically, you could write a SQL parser/interpreter in VBA, but no.

Yeah, I just discovered that you can run queries against external data (in SQL Server), but that's it.

I want a Mac Tablet so. damned. much. I have one of the Toshiba Tablets and it's great. I really really really want that with OS X. It's so much nicer when I have to make adjustments to a system and am wandering an entire facility.
