VBA Excel ADO SQL Update Query Not Working - sql

Question

I am new to VBA and Excel Scripting, however, I am trying to use it to connect to an SQL Server I have created. I have built a generalized query from a userform, and created a successful SELECT statements that fill my sheet.
However, when I try to update this information in the database I am unsuccessful. The code throws no errors, but I cannot find my changes in the database. Here is my attempt:
Private Sub dbUpdate(Query)
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim recset As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim strConn As String
'Create the connection string
strConn = "Provider=SQLNCLI11;Server=IP-Address;Database=Info;Trusted_Connection=yes;DataTypeCompatibility=80;"
'Create the connection and recordset objects
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
Set recset = New ADODB.Recordset
'Open the connection
conn.Open strConn
'Open the recordset with the query
'Previous attempt, no errors
'recset.Open Query, conn
'Execute the recordset
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
'The below execution of a query throws errors I believe
cmd.CommandText = Query
Set recset = cmd.Execute
'Close things up
Set recset = Nothing
'recset.Close
conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing
End Sub
I am pretty sure the query is correct, but I will update tomorrow if I still can't figure it out.

Here is one example that could work for you.
Sub ImportDataFromExcel()
Dim rng As Range
Dim r As Long
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim strConn As String
Dim strSQL As String
strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & _
"C:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\Coding\Integrating Access and Excel and SQL Server\Access & Excel & SQL Server\" & _
"EXCEL AND ACCESS AND SQL SERVER\Excel & Access\Select, Insert, Update & Delete\Northwind.mdb"
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
conn.Open strConn
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
lastrow = .Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row
lastcolumn = .Range("A2").End(xlToRight).Column
Set rng = .Range(.Cells(lastrow, 1), .Cells(lastrow, lastcolumn))
End With
'therow = 1
For i = 2 To lastrow
'r = rng.Row
'If r > 1 Then
strSQL = "UPDATE PersonInformation SET " & _
"FName='" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B" & i).Value & "', " & _
"LName='" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C" & i).Value & "', " & _
"Address='" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D" & i).Value & "', " & _
"Age=" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("E" & i).Value & " WHERE " & _
"ID=" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & i).Value
conn.Execute strSQL
'End If
'r = r + 1
Next i
conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing
End Sub
There are so, so, so many different versions of this. Hopefully you can adapt this example to fit your specific needs.
