Excel Modify ODBC Settings
Can someone suggest how can I configure Excel to use the existing ODBC data connection in control panel? Right now it is trying to use something that is configured in Excel and I need to modify the settings every time it connects.

You'll have to check Data » Existing Connections » Connections in this Workbook (or named similar) for the connection data used.
Their you go check this site Here
It gives you all the connection strings that you might require or use to connect various databases with excel..

In Data --> Existing Connections how can I import the ODBC connection from the Control Panel?
Go to-->data-->from other sources-->From Data connection wizard-->ODBC DSN
and in their it will list all your ODBC connection and click next and follow the steps further and you will be good..

This option is greyed out.
Which means your worksheet is protected..Unprotect your worksheet and you will see that option back..

Even with this wizard, I don't see the system DSN that I've configured in Control Panel.
Any idea?
