can someone help me with this code please? I am new to vba
I need to upload data from sheet xx, and the entire column A until it hits the first blank value in this column. It shows me run time error, incorrect syntax near 'true' on line with sqlstr
Thank you
Sub Upload()
Dim conn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim i As Integer
Dim ExpID As String
i = 2
Do While ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 1) > 0
If ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Hidden = False Then
ExpID = ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 1)
End If
conn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=xxx;Initial Catalog=xxx;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
sqlstr = "Insert into xxx.tblBillingInvoicesPrint (InvoiceID) values '" & ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 1).Select & "'"
conn.Execute sqlstr
i = i + 1
Loop
End Sub

I am trying to import via a VBA button a ton of Excel data (around 30k + daily) into an existing table in SQL server. My question is how can I do this as simple as possible, code speaking?
The headers both in my Excel file and SQL table are 1:1 the same so I just want to import everything into the SQL table
This is what I started to write but when I try to make the code work I get a "Run-time error '-2147217865 (80040e37): Invalid object name "dbo.Rawdata".
Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
Dim r As Range
Dim c As Range
Set r = Sheet1.Range("A6:DA269239")
Dim con As ADODB.Connection
Set con = New ADODB.Connection
con.ConnectionString = _
"Provider=MSOLEDBSQL;" & _
"Server =localhost\name" & _
"Database =name;" & _
"Trusted_Connection=yes;"
con.Open
Dim iRowNo As Integer
Dim strn_reference As String
Dim batchInsert As String
Dim batchSize As Integer
batchSize = 1000
iRowNo = 0
For Each cl In r
iRowNo = iRowNo + 1
batchInsert = batchInsert + (IIf(iRowNo > 1, ",", "")) + "('" & Replace(cl.Value2, "'", "''") & "')"
If (iRowNo = batchSize) Then
con.Execute "insert into dbo.Rawdata (trn_reference) Values " & batchInsert
iRowNo = 0
batchInsert = ""
End If
Next
If Len(batchInsert) > 0 Then con.Execute "insert into dbo.Rawdata (trn_reference) Values " & batchInsert
MsgBox "Reference Numbers imported"
con.Close
Set con = Nothing
End Sub
Thank you everyone for the help!
I guess you should refer to the table name from SQL server not dbo.Rawdata but directly:
Rawdata|"Insert into Rawdata(column_name) VALUES ('" & vba_variable & "')"
This should be the SQL statement from VBA.
This work for me very well.
I have created a user form in excel to save my records in a sheets like sheet1.
But after few days working with this UserForm, it is now goes slower, because of heavy data saving in sheet1.
Now I want to save all records to a database and want to keep clean my sheet1.
So I can work on my UserForm easily or without any delay. Also wants updates my record by calling it via serial numbers.
but I don't want to keep any record in my sheet1.
my little code is below: -
Sub cmdAdd_Click()
On Error GoTo ErrOccured
BlnVal = 0
If BlnVal = 0 Then Exit Sub
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
Dim txtId, txtName, GenderValue, txtLocation, txtCNum, txtEAddr, txtRemarks
Dim iCnt As Integer
iCnt = fn_LastRow(Sheets("Data")) + 1
If frmData.obMale = True Then
GenderValue = "Male"
Else
GenderValue = "Female"
End If
With Sheets("Data")
.Cells(iCnt, 1) = iCnt - 1
.Cells(iCnt, 2) = frmData.txtName
.Cells(iCnt, 3) = GenderValue
.Cells(iCnt, 4) = frmData.txtLocation.Value
.Cells(iCnt, 5) = frmData.txtEAddr
.Cells(iCnt, 6) = frmData.txtCNum
.Cells(iCnt, 7) = frmData.txtRemarks
.Columns("A:G").Columns.AutoFit
.Range("A1:G1").Font.Bold = True
.Range("A1:G1").LineStyle = xlDash
End If
End With
Dim IdVal As Integer
IdVal = fn_LastRow(Sheets("Data"))
frmData.txtId = IdVal
ErrOccured:
'TurnOn screen updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
I will always be grateful to you.
Then, please try the next way. I will try creating of the necessary DB, table and fields using Excel VBA, too:
Copy the next piece of code which will create an empty DB, on the path you want:
Sub CreateEmptyDB()
Dim strPath As String, objAccess As Object
strPath = "C:\Your path\testDB"
Set objAccess = CreateObject("Access.Application")
Call objAccess.NewCurrentDatabase(strPath)
objAccess.Quit
End Sub
Programatically create the necessary table with its fields (`Start Date' added only to see how this type of data is handled...):
Sub createTableFields()
'It needs a reference to `Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library` (x = 2 to 9)
Dim Catalog As Object, cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim dbPath As String, scn As String, strTable As String
dbPath = "C:\Teste VBA Excel\testAccess\testDB.accdb"
strTable = "MySpecial_Table"
scn = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & dbPath & ";"
Set Catalog = CreateObject("ADOX.Catalog")
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
With cn
.Open scn
.Execute "CREATE TABLE " & strTable & " ([Name] text(255) WITH " & _
"Compression, " & "[Gender] text(255) WITH Compression, " & _
"[Location] text(255) WITH Compression, " & _
"[Address] text(255) WITH Compression, " & _
"[Number] number, " & _
"[Remarks] text(255) WITH Compression, " & _
"[Start Date] datetime)"
End With
cn.Close
End Sub
Add records to the newly created DB/Table:
Sub FillDataInDB()
'It needs a reference to `Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library` (x = 2 to 9)
Dim AccessDB As String, strTable As String, sql As String
Dim con As ADODB.Connection, rs As ADODB.Recordset, lastNo As Long
AccessDB = "C:\Teste VBA Excel\testAccess\testDB.accdb"
strTable = "MySpecial_Table"
Set con = CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
con.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & AccessDB
sql = "SELECT * FROM " & strTable
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.CursorType = 1 'adOpenKeyset on early binding
rs.LockType = 3 'adLockOptimistic on early binding
rs.Open sql, con
If rs.RecordCount = 0 Then
lastNo = 0 'when no records in the table
Else
rs.MoveLast: lastNo = rs("Number") 'the last recorded value
End If
rs.AddNew
rs("Name") = "Test name" 'frmData.txtName
rs("Gender") = "Test gender" 'GenderValue
rs("Location") = "Test Location" 'frmData.txtLocation.Value
rs("Address") = "Test Address" 'frmData.txtEAddr
rs("Number") = IIf(lastNo = 0, 100, lastNo + 1) 'auto incrementing against the last value
'but starting from 100
'you can use frmData.txtCNum
rs("Remarks") = "Remarkable table..." 'frmData.txtRemarks
rs("Start Date") = Date
rs.Update
rs.Close: con.Close
Set rs = Nothing: Set con = Nothing
End Sub
Run the first two pieces of code in consecutive order (only once) and then start playing with the third one...
You can read the newly created DB Table (returning in an Excel sheet) in this way:
Sub ADO_Connection_ReadTable()
Dim conn As New Connection, rec As New Recordset, sh As Worksheet
Dim AccessDB As String, connString, query As String, strTable As String
AccessDB = "C:\Teste VBA Excel\testAccess\testDB.accdb"
strTable = "MySpecial_Table"
Set sh = ActiveSheet 'use here the sheet you want
connString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & AccessDB
conn.Open connString
query = "SELECT * from " & strTable & ";"
rec.Open query, conn
'return in the sheet
sh.cells.ClearContents
'getting data from the recordset if any and returning some in columns A:B:
If (rec.RecordCount <> 0) Then
Do While Not rec.EOF
With sh.Range("A" & sh.cells(Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp).row).Offset(1, 0)
.Value2 = rec.fields(0).Value
.Offset(0, 1).Value2 = rec.fields(3)
End With
rec.MoveNext
Loop
End If
rec.Close: conn.Close
End Sub
You can use a query to return specific data according to a specific table field. You can find plenty of examples on the internet.
I tried also showing how to handle an automate recording for the 'Number' field. Of course, if you are able to keep track of it in a different way, you can record it as you need/wont.
Please, test the above code(s) and send some feedback. You can use the DB path as a Private constant at the module level and much other ways to optimize the code. It is just a minimum workable solution only showing the way... :)
first I'm sorry for the poor english but I'll try my best.
I have an oracle query running in a VBA macro and I need to set the date in the sql select as a variable that relates to a sheet cell, I already managed to make the sql consult work.
I would really appreciate some help with this, I'm really stuck, down goes the working code.
Private Sub cmdConexaoBD_Click()
Dim sql As String
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim i As Integer
'define a conexão com o banco de dados
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
cn.Open "Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}; " & _
"CONNECTSTRING=database;uid=username;pwd=password;"
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
sql = "SELECT NUMOS,MIN(DTINICIOOS),MAX(DTFIMOS),MAX(DTFIMOS)-MIN(DTINICIOOS) FROM PCMOVENDPEND WHERE DATA >= TRUNC(SYSDATE) GROUP BY NUMOS"
rs.Open sql, cn
Range("A1").Value = "OS"
Range("B1").Value = "DT"
Range("C1").Value = "DT"
Range("D1").Value = "TEMPO"
i = 1
If Not rs.EOF Then
Do While Not rs.EOF
Range("A" & i + 1).Value = rs(0)
Range("B" & i + 1).Value = rs(1)
Range("C" & i + 1).Value = rs(2)
Range("D" & i + 1).Value = rs(3)
rs.MoveNext
i = i + 1
Loop
End If
cn.Close
End Sub
Where is written WHERE DATA >= TRUNC(SYSDATE) "DATA" actually is date (it's in portuguese), I want to set the date as a variable referring to a sheet cell, so I can change it in the spreadsheet and import the data of such date without changing the code.
I hope that I made myself clear, Thanks!
For example:
Dim dt
dt = format(Range("F1").Value,"mm/dd/yyyy") 'your date is in F1
sql = " SELECT NUMOS,MIN(DTINICIOOS),MAX(DTFIMOS),MAX(DTFIMOS)-MIN(DTINICIOOS) " & _
" FROM PCMOVENDPEND " & _
" WHERE DATA >= to_date('" & dt & "','mm/dd/yyyy') GROUP BY NUMOS "
It's better to use bind variables, so you need something like this:
Set dbADOCommand = New ADODB.Command
Set dbADOParameter = New ADODB.Parameter
sql = "SELECT NUMOS,MIN(DTINICIOOS),MAX(DTFIMOS),MAX(DTFIMOS)-MIN(DTINICIOOS) FROM PCMOVENDPEND WHERE DATA >= :bindDate GROUP BY NUMOS"
dbADOCommand.CommandText = sql
dbADOCommand.CommandType = adCmdText
dbADOCommand.NamedParameters = true
dbADOCommand.Prepared = true
Set dbADOParameter = dbADOCommand.CreateParameter("bindDate", _
ADODB.DataTypeEnum.adDBDate, _
ADODB.adParamInput, _
8, _
"2020-01-01")
dbADOCommand.Parameters.Append dbADOParameter
Set dbADORecordSet = New ADODB.Recordset
Set dbADORecordSet = dbADOCommand.Execute
I promised myself I would not post this because I have this delusional thought that I am too good of a programmer, yet here we are.
I have altered what I posted earlier last week trying to figure out how to write a VBA function that would write data from an Excel Range to an MS SQL Table. That worked.
Towards the end of the program, I do not know how to construct the final execution of the code; I have tried everything from using the Command.Text in the upper levels, setting it to a Recordset, then executing the recordset, but nothing will make the little VBA troll happy. Here is what I currently have written:
Sub Connection()
Dim Tbl As String
Dim InsertQuery As New ADODB.Command
InsertQuery.CommandType = adCmdText
Dim xlRow As Long, xlCol As Integer
Dim DBconnection As New ADODB.Connection
Dim ConnString As String
Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim a As Integer, sFieldName As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim CurrentDb As Database
Dim ConnectionStr
ConnectionStr = "Provider=sqloledb;Server="";Inital Catalog="";Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID="";Password="""
DBconnection.Open ConnectionStr
xlRow = 1 'only one row being used *as of now*, and that is the top row in the excel sheet
xlCol = 119 'First column of misc. data
While Cells(xlRow, xlCol) <> ""
If LH = True Then
Tbl = "Info.CaseBLH"
InsertQuery.CommandText = "INSERT INTO " & Tbl & " VALUES('"
ElseIf RH = True Then
Tbl = "Info.CaseBRH"
InsertQuery.CommandText = "INSERT INTO " & Tbl & " VALUES('"
Else
MsgBox ("No available sheets")
'Application.Quit
End If
NK21Data.TableDefs(Tbl).Fields.Count
For a = 1 To Fields.Count - 1
'For xlCol = 119 To 230 'columns DO1 to HV1
Fields.Item(a) = Replace(Cells(xlRow, xlCol), "'", "''") & "', '" 'Includes mitigation for apostrophes in the data
If Cells(xlRow, xlCol) = "" Then
rst.Fields.Item(a) = "NULL"
End If
xlCol = xlCol + 1
Next a
a = a + 1
Fields.Item(a) = (Format(Now(), "M/D/YYYY") & "')" & vbCrLf)
Wend
'On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
DBconnection.Execute (InsertQuery.CommandText)
DBconnection.Close
Set DBconnection = Nothing
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Msg = "Error # " & Str(Err.Number) & " was generated by " _
& Err.Source & Chr(13) & "Error Line: " & Erl & Chr(13) & Err.Description
MsgBox Msg, , "Error", Err.HelpFile, Err.HelpContext
End If
End Sub
The error I get is:
Command text was not set for the command object.
This error occurs at:
DBconnection.Execute (InsertQuery.CommandText)
If I try using the following:
InsertQuery = DBconnection.Execute
I will get the following error:
Argument not optional
I've been at this for about (give or take) three days and I'm now having nightmares about it so if someone can help me figure out what to do for this I would greatly appreciate it.
I fixed up and cleaned the code from my earlier answer, tested it to work:
Here's the code:
Option Explicit
Sub DoItThen()
Dim i As Integer, sqlIns As String, sqlVals As String
Dim InsertQuery As New ADODB.Command
Dim firstRow As Long, firstCol As Integer, lastCol As Integer, currRow As Integer
Dim DBconnection As New ADODB.Connection
Dim ConnString As String
ConnString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=Example;Data Source=MYMACHINENAME"
DBconnection.Open ConnString
InsertQuery.ActiveConnection = DBconnection
InsertQuery.CommandType = adCmdText
''build the command text side by side, named columns and values with param placeholders
sqlIns = "INSERT INTO person("
sqlVals = " VALUES("
''i could work these out by scanning the sheet i suppose. hardcoded for now
firstRow = 2
firstCol = 3
lastCol = 5
''generate the SQL - its this that lets the column names come in any order in the sheet
For i = firstCol To lastCol
sqlIns = sqlIns & Cells(firstRow, i) & ","
sqlVals = sqlVals & "?,"
InsertQuery.Parameters.Append InsertQuery.CreateParameter("p" & i - firstCol, adVarChar, adParamInput, 255)
Next i
''chop off the extra trailing commas and form a syntax correct command
InsertQuery.CommandText = Left$(sqlIns, Len(sqlIns) - 1) & ")" & Left$(sqlVals, Len(sqlVals) - 1) & ")"
''iterate the data part of the sheet and execute the query repeatedlty
currRow = firstRow + 1
While Cells(currRow, firstCol) <> ""
For i = firstCol To lastCol
InsertQuery.Parameters("p" & i - firstCol).Value = Cells(currRow, i)
Next i
InsertQuery.Execute , , adExecuteNoRecords ''dont return a resultset
currRow = currRow + 1
Wend
DBconnection.Close
Set DBconnection = Nothing
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
End Sub
It takes the first row as the names of the columns in the db table - any order is fine
It builds a command and populates the parameters
It repeatedly fills the values and executes the query, populating the table
OK; don't shoot me - I'm no VBA whizz but I'm saying you should strive to make your code more like this:
Sub DoItThen()
Dim a As Integer, sql as String
Dim InsertQuery As New ADODB.Command
Dim xlRow As Long, xlCol As Integer
Dim DBconnection As New ADODB.Connection

If LH = True Then
sql = "INSERT INTO Info.CaseBLH VALUES(#p1"
ElseIf RH = True Then
sql = "INSERT INTO Info.CaseBRH VALUES(#p1"
Else
MsgBox ("No available sheets")
'Application.Quit
End If
''does this do anything? I don't know
NK21Data.TableDefs(Tbl).Fields.Count
''let us add some placeholders to the command: we add count-2 because we already have one ? in the command
''ps; don't know where you got fields.count from
For a = 2 To Fields.Count - 1
sql = sql & ",#p" & a
Next a
''finish off our command
InsertQuery.CommandText = sql & ")"
''now we have a command like INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(#p1, #p2, #p3.."
''and setting the command text might pre-populate the parameters collection
''with the same number of parameters as are in the command, so let's clear it and
''add the parameters again ourselves so we can control the type
InsertQuery.Parameters.Clear
''create a load of parameters
For a = 1 To Fields.Count - 1
InsertQuery.Parameters.Append InsertQuery.CreateParameter("#p" & a, adVarChar, adParamInput, 255) 'adjust if you have strings longer than 255
Next a
''Now all the parameters are set etc, we just go through all the rows,
''and all the columns and set the values, then execute the command, then change the values and execute again
''--> set the command up once and repeatedly execute it
xlRow = 1 'only one row being used *as of now*, and that is the top row in the excel sheet
xlCol = 119 'First column of misc. data
While Cells(xlRow, xlCol) <> ""
For a = 1 To Fields.Count - 1
InsertQuery.Parameters("#p" & a).Value = Cells(xlRow, xlCol + a)
Next a
InsertQuery.Execute , , adExecuteNoRecords ''dont return a resultset
Wend
DBconnection.Close
Set DBconnection = Nothing
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Msg = "Error # " & Str(Err.Number) & " was generated by " _

End If
End Sub
You have 100 columns and 1000 rows to insert from an excel sheet:
You set up the command, INSERT INTO ... VALUES (... 100 #parameter placeholders...)
You clear the parameters collection (in case VBA has decided to 'help' by creating them) and add a load of parameters that represent your strings in your sheet
You then iterate the sheet, row by row, setting each column value on the row, into the relevant parameter and after you set all the columns (100 times), you execute the command then move to the next row, set the values again and execute again (1000 times)
I've got absolutely no way of testing this, sorry - it's my best guess but I fully expect it still has some error because I don't really know where you got Fields from. The answer with 8 votes from here was helpful: VBA, ADO.Connection and query parameters - I distinctly recall from when I was using VB6 about 20 years ago, that ADODB would try and prepopulate the parameters collection in certain circumstances, with its guesses at the parameter types; we routinely cleared it and added our own, but you might have some success proceeding with the default parameters it makes
The names of the parameters are not relevant; only the position. There's no requirement that #p1 from the query string matches the #p1 name given for the parameter - if the first parameter in the string were called #bob and you then cleared and added a parameter named #alice, whatever #alice's value was would be assigned to #bob because #bob is first in the query and #alice is first in the parameters collection. I used #pXXX as a parameter name for ease of reference in both cases
Here is my basic ADODB Execute template. This isn't meant to be an answer but more a helpful post. It should assist in showing you what you're doing incorrectly, which appears to be simple syntax issues as well as being really new to this (formatting and other pieces of code suggest that maybe you've gotten yourself "googled into a corner.").
Private Sub ADODBExample()
Dim vbSql As String, cnnstr as string
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
vbSql = "sql statement ;"
Set cnn = New Connection
cnnstr = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=SERVERNAME;Initial Catalog=DBNAME;User ID=USERID;Password=PASSWORD; Trusted_Connection=No"
cnn.Open cnnstr
cnn.Execute vbSql
cnn.Close
Set cnn = Nothing
End Sub
More helpful tips -
Stop looping through cells, ranges and other worksheet/book objects. Learn to use arrays - itll make processing way better.
Simplicity is best. You appear to doing what I consider alot of unnecessary things, but then again I dont know all the requirements.
So I amended the code to the following:
Sub Connection()
Dim i As Integer, sqlIns As String, sqlVals As String
Dim InsertQuery As New ADODB.Command
Dim firstRow As Long, firstCol As Integer, lastCol As Integer, currRow As Integer
Dim DBconnection As New ADODB.Connection
Dim ConnString As String
Dim Tbl As String
ConnString = "Provider=sqloledb;Server=SERVER;Inital Catalog=DB;Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID=ID;Password=PW;"
DBconnection.Open ConnString
InsertQuery.ActiveConnection = DBconnection
InsertQuery.CommandType = adCmdText
If LH = True Then
Tbl = "Info.CaseBLH"
sqlIns = "INSERT INTO Info.CaseBLH("
ElseIf RH = True Then
Tbl = "Info.CaseBRH"
sqlIns = "INSERT INTO Info.CaseBRH("
Else
MsgBox ("No available sheets")
'Application.Quit
End If
''build the command text side by side, named columns and values with param placeholders
sqlVals = " VALUES("
''i could work these out by scanning the sheet i suppose. hardcoded for now
firstRow = 1
firstCol = 119
lastCol = 231
''generate the SQL - its this that lets the column names come in any order in the sheet
For i = firstCol To lastCol
sqlIns = sqlIns & Cells(firstRow, i) & ","
sqlVals = sqlVals & "?,"
InsertQuery.Parameters.Append InsertQuery.CreateParameter("p" & i - firstCol, adVarChar, adParamInput, 255)
Next i
''chop off the extra trailing commas and form a syntax correct command
InsertQuery.CommandText = Left$(sqlIns, Len(sqlIns) - 1) & ")" & Left$(sqlVals, Len(sqlVals) - 1) & ")"
''iterate the data part of the sheet and execute the query repeatedlty
currRow = firstRow ' - not needed as the data is automatically replaced with the code above
While Cells(currRow, firstCol) <> ""
For i = firstCol To lastCol - 1
InsertQuery.Parameters("p" & i - firstCol).Value = Cells(currRow, i)
Next i
InsertQuery.Execute , , adExecuteNoRecords ''dont return a resultset
Wend
DBconnection.Close
Set DBconnection = Nothing
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
End Sub
Right at the
InsertQuery.Execute , , adExecuteNoRecords
Line I'm getting a error telling me there is a syntax error around the ':' which doesn't make any sense to me. If I append my code to send the error to the error handler, every single row it cycles through throws me an error saying there is a syntax error around '-' or '/'. I think it has something to do with the parameter.value line.
The following code throws an error when trying to run it, I presume I've managed to actually connect to the database and I have a cell selected so not sure what's missing.
ERROR:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'PopID ='.
Ideally I would like to be able to list four cells that would go into four columns in access appending each time the macro is ran
Const TARGET_DB = "testdb.accdb"
Sub AlterOneRecord() 'not working yet
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim fld As ADODB.Field
Dim MyConn
Dim lngRow As Long
Dim lngID As String
Dim j As Long
Dim sSQL As String
'determine the ID of the current record and define the SQL statement
lngRow = ActiveCell.Row
lngID = Cells(lngRow, 1).Value
sSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblPopulation WHERE PopID = " & lngID
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
MyConn = ThisWorkbook.path & Application.PathSeparator & TARGET_DB
With cnn
.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;"
.Open MyConn
End With
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.CursorLocation = adUseServer
rst.Open Source:=sSQL, _
ActiveConnection:=cnn, _
CursorType:=adOpenKeyset, _
LockType:=adLockOptimistic
'Load contents of modified record from Excel to Access.
'do not load the ID again.
For j = 2 To 7
rst(Cells(1, j).Value) = Cells(lngRow, j).Value
Next j
rst.Update
' Close the connection
rst.Close
cnn.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set cnn = Nothing
End Sub
I find it strange with them both being M$ products that this is not well documented or really really easy to perform. Maybe I'm going about it in the wrong way.
How could I make it contain cells A1 and B2 for example?
You need to quote strings
sSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblPopulation WHERE PopID = '" & lngID & "'"
