Hi,
I have a reporting model made in excel. A user enters all parameters in excel and the SQL code is generated for it. Next a macro is run that copies the data and it is pasted into a new query window in SQL management studio. Next, I would like to take the results and store them in a directory as a csv or excel file, the directory varies and will be specified by the user. Can this be done? If so, how??

Thank you!

What I would do is:

1. Save the generated query to disk instead of opening it in SSMS.
2. Write a SSIS package that reads the query into a new column in the dataflow
3. Add a script transformation that takes the column holding the query and assigns it to a variable
4. Add a second data flow
5. In the second dataflow, use an OLEDB source transformation that runs the query from step 3
6. Add a flat-file destination to take the results of step 3 and write them to disk

Have the macro execute the code against SQL Server, open a textfile and iterate and output all rows with the macro.
Simple as that.
