Question : Connect to a Crosstab query in Access from Excel

I am connecting to Accesss 2003 from Excel 2003 using an ODBC connection. I want the query results to load directly into Excel. This works with Select queries not with the Crosstab query I want to see. Is this simply not possible and, if so, why? Otherwise could you help, please? I am getting a message box with this message...
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification on column number 28 (9)

Many thanks
