ezRETS 

The ezRETS ODBC driver, from the Center for Realtor Technology (CRT) at the National Association of REALTORS®, was designed to allow ODBC-aware applications to easily query data from any Multiple Listing Service that supports the RETS standard. Many of the programs in Microsoft Office can utilize ezRETS to integrate real estate listing data directly into your own custom documents.  See these links for more information on ezRETS:

As a word of caution, a full NTREIS IDX record contains 243 fields.  A full NTREIS non-IDX record contains 337 records, which may be more fields than ezRETS can address.
