No, I only use lower case names.

I was able to import data into excel via another method. Instead of
using the Excel selection "Import Data", I selected New Database Query,
which essentially runs MS Query. This worked just fine.

This would lead me to believe that there is a good possibility that the
Import Data feature of Excel has its own bugs.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Carter,
Just curious: was this the problem?
