Everyone love novel ways to solve annoying bugs.
I really love this one suggested by Microsoft:
Quote:If you move your mouse pointer continuously while the data is being returned to Microsoft Excel, the query may not fail. Do not stop moving the mouse until all the data has been returned to Microsoft Excel.

NOTE: Depending on your query, it may take several minutes to return the results of your query to the worksheet.

Continuously wiggle your mouse for a few minutes - it's that simple!
Though it may not work...
