First time here, so I hope to get my answer, I looked throughout the Google but I couldn't find the answer.
Well, I got VBA code which refresh a code in SQL on Exel.
VBA code: Selection.ListObject.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
It's asking everytime my ODBC login/password and I try to refresh manually, and I'd like to run automatically by saving those information on Excel Cells or in VBA directly (I prefer a variable that is linked in excel cells in "Validação de Dados" sheets). And after that, making it better by forcing the user to insert those information in a form (to keep better looking).
But the problem is that everytime I tried to run the macro, it gets an error (something like "authenticantion failure").
My SQL code in Excel location:
Asking about my user and login:
Error getting by not saving user/login:
Office version: Microsoft Office 365 Business
Thanks everyone!
You should be able to use windows integrated authentication as well if you have an SQL Server. You'd have to add your user in SSMS.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/using-integrated-authentication?view=sql-server-2017
I managed to ask the password from the standard window with this code:
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Base").ListObjects(1).QueryTable.Refresh
"Base" is the name of your worksheet, and ListObjects(1) is if you have only one SQL query.

I have a device operated via Excel through com ports with MSComm32. Some macro linked to buttons on Excel forms used to make this device work properly. Up to these last days when it suddenly stopped working.
After some investigations, it seems there are some security considerations applied within Excel. The Excel file used up to now does not work anymore if Excel is runs as a standard user. An error message indicates the control cannot be created when trying to enter the creation mode, for example. But, if Excel is run as Administrator, then everything works fine.
Is there an easy way to fix this? For example granting access rights to standard user for the module MSComm32 OCX?
Thanks!
'Hi all,
I made VBA, this code add new records into access database. But the problem is when multiple run the vba i get error message as "Unrecognized database format" "Run time error 3343.
Can any one suggest me why i am getting this error. My code is below
I'm guessing you are using VBA to send data from Excel to Access. Please see the links below. Those links should answer pretty much all of your questions about this topic.

You can import from Excel into Access as well.

My skill level: basic user of VBA, know next to nothing about SQL (though I’ve recently learned how to execute code, etc).
I’ve created a user interface in an Excel worksheet to allow user input of report variables (dates, etc). These pass into a second Excel worksheet that, through the use of various Excel statements, creates the necessary SQL code. My macro then copies this worksheet and opens Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Rx via a shell command. Currently, I then manually click “connect” on the resultant Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 connect-to-server window (which does not need a password, just requires me to click “connect”), I create a new query, I paste the code in and then execute in SQL. So it is these latter steps (opening SQL, click “connect”, copy/paste code, execute) that I’m trying to automate via VBA.
To offer more context, once the SQL code has run, I then have a second macro that uses the Excel Data Connection wizard to bring the resultant SQL data back into my worksheet. This is working well.
I’ve researched this for several days on various boards. None seem to observe my approach of creating the code in Excel (probably because it is an inelegant approach). Or the post responses are beyond my skill level to understand. But I do fear that I’m asking a question that has been answered before (apologies in advance).
Thanks for whatever advice/time can be offered.
I’m using:
Excel/Office 2010
Microsoft SQL Server2008 R2 (is this the same as Microsoft SQL Server Management Studios? My SQL application shows both names)
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 6.1 Library (this is NOT currently checked off. One post I saw referenced the need for this. I have multiple prior AciveX Library versions available as well.)
What you're doing is very ingenious, but it's probably not necessary. Excel has a number of features for importing external data.
I would look at the Data tab in Excel and the From Other Sources section of the ribbon. You have at least three options: the From SQL Server, From Data Connection Wizard, and From Microsoft Query options.
All of these will set up a connection to a database server and execute SQL against it. They return data to your spreadsheet in different ways.
Where VBA will come into play again is in automating the generation and parameterization of the queries these will execute.
But I would set up something that works, with constants for your parameter values, first, so you get an idea of the possibilities, and then read and research dynamically setting your SQL with VBA.
You might also investigate PowerPivot, by the way.
I have a project in which I need to compare different versions of an Access 2003 database against each other. We're not interested in the data in the tables. We're only interested in the objects that describe the database. I.e. Form objects, Report objects, QueryDefs, TableDefs etc.. The databases are fairly large so the approach is to dump all the descriptions for objects of interest into a text file by running a VBA app in each of the databases and then comparing the results in a diff viewer.
I've been looking around for several days to find out how to dynamically dump access 2003 macro content from within VBA. Please don't confuse this with dumping VBA code from VBA.
I know about Application.CurrentDB.AllMacros to get a list of macros in the active access database. But I can't get at the macro object from Macro(MacroName).SomeProperty because the macro isn't open. So I've been trying to look for a way to open the macro and haven't found a way to accomplish this through VBA.
Any help on the topic would be appreciated.
Thanks!
You can export macros with the undocument Application.SaveAsText:
Application.SaveAsText acMacro ,"AutoKeys", "AutoKeys.txt"
...saves the AutoKeys macro to whatever the current directory is.
You could manually ask Access to convert the macros to VBA. There is an option for that, I think when you right click the macro. After that you can compare the generated VBA.
See the following page for a list of utilities to compare Access databases

I know it is possible to get data from a SQL database into an excel sheet, but i'm looking for a way to make it possible to edit the data in excel, and after editing, writing it back to the SQL database.
It appears this is not a function in excel, and google didn't come up with much usefull.
If you want to have the Excel file do all of the work (retrieve from DB; manipulate; update DB) then you could look at ActiveX Data Objects (ADO). You can get an overview at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680928(VS.85).aspx
You want the Import/Export wizard in SQL Management Studio. Depending on which version of SQL Server you are using, open SSMS (connect to the SQL instance you desire), right click on the database you want to import into and select Tasks.. "Import Data".
In the wizard, click Next (past the intro screen) and from the Data Source drop list select "Microsoft Excel". You specify the path and file name of the Excel spreadsheet, whether you have column headings or not.. then press Next. Just follow the wizard through, it'll set up the destination (can be SQL Server or another destination) etc.
There is help available for this process in SQL Server Books Online and more (a walkthrough) from MSDN.
If you need something deployable/more robust (or less wizard driven) then you'd need to take a look at SQL Server Integration Services (for a more "Enterprise" and security conscious approach). It's probably overkill for what you want to accomplish though.
There is a new Excel plug-in named "MySQL for Excel" : http://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/windows/
I just had a need to do this, and this thread has been quiet for a long time, so I thought it might be useful to supply a recent data point.
In my application roving salespeople use a copy of an Excel workbook that tracks the progress of a prospect through a loan application. The current stage of the application needs to be automatically saved back to a remote SQL database so that we can run reporting on it.
Rejected methods for updating the database from Excel:
SSIS and OpenRowSet are both methods for allowing SQL Server to pull the data from Excel, and don't work very well when the Excel workbook is sitting in an undefined location on a user's computer, and certainly not when the workbook is currently open in Excel.
ADO is now, if not actually deprecated, nevertheless looking very long in the tooth. Also, I wanted the solution to be robust in the face of the user possibly not being connected to the internet.
I also considered running a web API on the destination server. Macros in the Excel workbook connect to the web API to transfer data. However, it can sometimes be painful to allow a web API to talk to the outside world. Also, the code to make it robust in the face of temporary loss of internet connection is painful.
The adopted solution:
The solution I plan to adopt is low-tech: email. Excel emails the data to an address hosted on an Exchange server. Everyone in the company has Outlook installed, so the emails are sent by programmatically adding them to the Outlook Outbox. Outlook nicely handles the case when the user is offline. At the server end, a custom C# executable, fired up at regular intervals by the Task Scheduler, polls the inbox and processes the emails.
You could use try these add-ins :
www.QueryCell.com (I created this one)
www.SQLDrill.com
www.Excel-DB.net
You can use the OPENROWSET function to manipulate Excel data from a T-SQL script. Example usage would be:
UPDATE OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;DATABASE=c:\MySpreadsheet.xls',
'Select * from MyTable')
SET Field1='Value1' WHERE Field2 = 'Value2'
