Do you mean from SQL Server side capture the IP address from the Excel connection?

Vitor, yes.<br />
<br />
Thanks Jason. Ideally I would like to achieve this. Whenever I have an INSERT into a table I'd like to put the client IP Address of the incoming connection into a column called IPAddress. Is it possible for SQL Server to insert that as a Default Value for that column in the table design? (like GETDATE)

SQL Server and getting client IP Address

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
