Can you chechk which one are the rights that you have over the book or Sheet? Looks like a problem on rights also try to get the top cell that display the data and right clicked to see if give you the option to edit the data
If you right clicked on the data in the excel sheet (not the cell that is referencing the data that your pulling) will give you the option the edit the query

Thanks for your prompt reply.
There are no restrictions on this Excel file, sheet, cell, ect..., and I have NTFS Full Control.
If you refer to the ability of "editing the data" by changing cells = Yes I can.

When I right click on a data field, from which the info is imported by the query, I don't get any option to edit the data.
However, I can left click on the call and by simply selecting it, I can change it's content.

The problem is that I don't know what cell is connected to the database.
So, I finally resolved the issue by clicking "alt"+"shift"+"F11".
A XML looking window appeared. I changed the required text (MySQL IP address) and the problem is now resolved.
So we will not need to work more on this.
Your help was very appreciated. Thanks a million.
