More Microsoft Query Columns

Using microsoft Query (wizard) on Excel 97/2000, how can I make a query with 200+ columns/fields (I'm brining in information from Access)?  Currently, every time I try to bring over 85-90 columns/fields from Access into Excel the query never happens.  And I need over 200 columns brought over at once.

Why don't you use multiple queries?  If you have a unique identifier for each record, you can hide it (to avoid repetition).  You can write a small VB macro to refresh these queries.

To yu108352:  I have tried multiple queries.  And while they work OK enough in Excel 97, they seem to cause problems in Excel 2000 and want to have a system that will avoid problems in both 97 & 2000.  Thank you anyway.
Thank you Laqzy.  I am glad I could help.  :o)
