I've searched pretty extensively and found a lot of topics on this which helped me get my code to the point it is, but I'm at an impasse as I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
I'm trying to create a temporary table so that I can pull info from a couple of other tables, drop it in, then push it out to excel.
Right now I was just trying to create a recordset from the temporary table to check that it is being created, and I'm getting an error on the select * from temporary table line.
The error I'm getting is: error -2147217865 (800040e37) Invalid object name '#TempGetBOM'
The database platform is MS SQL Server.
EDIT:
I updated the code to insert some data into the table to see if that would give me the object doesn't exist error. It executed without error, so that would indicate it exists. Then, while stepping through the code, I tried to execute the "create table" statement again, and it did error telling me the object already exists.
One thing I also found is after I create the table, if I step back in the code and run the line to check if the table exists and drop it, when I get to the create table line after that, it still says the table exits. So obviously that check and drop if exists statement is not working as I intended.
Updated code:
'Declare variables
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strConBase As String
Dim ADOcon As ADODB.Connection
Dim ADOrsetA As ADODB.Recordset
Dim ADOcmA As ADODB.Command
'Initialize objects

Set ADOrsetA = New ADODB.Recordset
Set ADOcmA = New ADODB.Command

strConBase = strConDriver & strConServer & strConApp & "WSID=" & Environ$("COMPUTERNAME") & ";" & strConDbTest & strConNetwork & strConTConn
ADOcon.ConnectionString = strConBase
ADOcon.Open
'Open Recordsets for item
strSQL = "SELECT '" & strItem & "'," & strTblItem & ".Item_desc_1," & strTblItem & ".Item_desc_2 FROM " & strTblItem & " WHERE Item_no ='" & strItem & "'"
Set ADOrsetA.ActiveConnection = ADOcon
ADOrsetA.Open strSQL
'Create a temporary table to handle the intermediary work between item and BOM recordsets
With ADOcmA
Set .ActiveConnection = ADOcon
.CommandType = adCmdText
.CommandText = "IF OBJECT_ID('#MyTempGetBOM') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #MyTempGetBOM"
.Execute
.CommandText = "CREATE TABLE #MyTempGetBOM (ITEM VARCHAR(255),DESCRIP1 CHAR(255),DESCRIP2 CHAR(255), LEV INT, SEQ INT, FLAG1 CHAR(255), PRIMARYKEY INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,QTY_PER NUMERIC)"
.Execute
.CommandText = "Insert Into #MyTempGetBOM (ITEM,DESCRIP1,DESCRIP2,LEV,SEQ,FLAG1,QTY_PER) select '" & strItem & "',Item_desc_1,Item_desc_2,1,'1','o',1 FROM " & strTblItem
.Execute
End With
Dim ADOrsetB As ADODB.Recordset
Set ADOrsetB = New ADODB.Recordset
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM #MyTempGetBOM"
Set ADOrsetB.ActiveConnection = ADOcon
ADOrsetB.Open strSQL
So, I got it working by changing the table name from #TempBom to MyTempBom.
Not sure what the # is, I saw it used in some code I was trying to emulate.
Obviously, I have very little experience in SQL.
OK, so after some more reading and searching, I decided to try a different approach to setting the recordset using the command object I created. This worked.
I guess I don't understand the MS SQL object model well enough, but I thought the temporary table would be tied to the connection object, so that as long as I was using the same connection I could access it. But it appears to me it's actually tied to the command object. Is that right?
Anyways, here is the updated code that is mostly working (the drop table if object not null statement still doesn't do what I expected). I'm sure it could be done in a better/simpler/more efficient way, but this is where I've gotten so far.

Your problem is that the SQL Server session your temporary table is created in is terminated when your procedure completes.

I am trying to update records, or create records if the unique ID does not exist.
The code gives me an error telling me that it would create duplicate values.
I need to include this in my code "SQL: If Exists Update Else Insert".

wbpath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path

con.Close
Set con = Nothing
End Sub
The table name is "AssigenedVol_tbl"
Fields are: Process_Identifier, Login, Volume, effDate, ID_Unique (This is the primary key in the database)
Modify the insert statement to check for the existence of the key. Given what you explained, that would be
Sub Upload_Excel_to_Access()
Dim wbpath As String
wbpath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path
Dim con As Object '' ADODB.Connection
Set con = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") '' New ADODB.Connection
con.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data source=\\at\HRS SD Performance Data\Capacity DB.accdb;"

I am working on an Excel 2010 Workboox where a macro pulls in data from a database table. The users can then update the values of Column06) to a specific value if needed. Once complete, they can run a macro to run a SQL update so Column06 in the database is updated where COLUMN01 and COLUMN02 are in the database table. I know the ADO connection is working as I tried with a very generic sql which worked fine. I know that the table could be of varying lengths, so I knew I probably needed to loop through the rows, and that's where I'm stuck.
I tried setting up a loop similar to another solution I found online, and started getting Run-Time Error 91 "Object variable or with block variable not set". I think is due to the ListObject.ListColumns I'm using in the new Update Statement. I've tried using other examples to declare these, but it usually ends up in other errors. I must be missing something, or doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps row.Columns is not designed for what you want to achieve. You can give this link to another article on stackoverflow a look for some more information. Next, I made some changes to your code which might do the trick.
' ... ... ...
Dim row As Range
'For Each row In [tbl_data].Rows ==>> has to be replaced by
'For Each row In [tbl_data] ==>> which returns all cells, perhaps better the following
Const ColNbr_Column01 As Long = 1
Const ColNbr_Column02 As Long = 2
Const ColNbr_Column06 As Long = 6
' now, select only the first column of the range [tbl_data]
For Each row In Range( _
[tbl_data].Cells(1, 1).Address, _
[tbl_data].Cells([tbl_data].Rows.Count, 1).Address)
' now, use offset to reach to the columns in the row
uSQL = "UPDATE tbl_data SET Column06 = '" & row.Offset(0, ColNbr_Column06).Value & _
"' WHERE Column01 = '" & row.Offset(0, ColNbr_Column01).Value & _
"' AND Column02 = '" & row.Offset(0, ColNbr_Column02).Value & "' "

I have a local table in an MS Access 2010 database. I would like to use ADODB to load the local table into a Teradata environment within my spool space using CREATE VOLATILE TABLE command
This should be achievable i think using arrays but i was wondering is there a better way (speedy too if possible) to batch load the records into the teradata environment for example
CREATE VOLATILE TABLE EXAMPLE AS (SELECT * FROM LOCAL TABLE)
WITH DATA PRIMARY INDEX(Set Index Keys)
ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;
Thanks for your help
Just a quick update on this [24/01/2013]
I have managed to get the data from the access database, Load it into an Array, Create a Volatile table in my teradata warehouse using spool space and then attempt to load the array into the table
I am getting the error: TEMP_TABLE already exists. when trying to append the records to the table
I am almost there so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your help

You may have better success using a Global Temporary Table as the object definition is stored within the DBC Data Dictionary on Teradata. The population of the table is session specific using the TEMPORARY space assigned to the user or the profile of the user.
Just to answer my own question, I should change the second code line of below
cmdSQLData.CommandText = Query
To
cmdSQLData.CommandText = AppendQuery
It then works perfectly albeit slowly
Again thank you all for your help
I'm retrieving Data from a Database in a record set using VB6... so while retrieving data using Select in SQL I added a column called Comments along wit it so that in the recordset, all the columns of the table+'Comments' column would be present... I don't want to(and also I cannot) update any contents in the database as i'm only 'fetching' data frm the database now...
Now when i pass the fetched data for validation, I want to fill the 'comments' Column with the respective errors if the particular row in the recordSet is erroneous).... When i do that i get an error saying "I'm not authorized to do that!!(to update the 'Comments' Column"....
Now My Question is "In what way i can solve this problem???".. I tried to replicate this recordset and there by now filling the 'comments'column (in the replicated one) which in turn showed the same error... It seems this could be because the duplicate one(recordSet) just retains the properties of the original one...
Can u any1 help how to solve this???? Any ways to replicate the recordset(without inheriting its properties something)??????
I think you are just asking how to do a disconnected recordset.
For that you just change the cursor location of the recordset.
Dim rstTest as ADODB.RecordSet
Set rstTest = New ADODB.RecordSet
With rstTest
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.Open "your sql here", your_connection_object, adOpenStatic, adLockBatchOptimistic, adCmdText
' now disconnect it and force the local copy
.ActiveConnection = Nothing
End With
Not exactly what you are looking for, but this is how I do it:
Create a class to encapsulate the recordset ('Customer' class for 'Customer' table)
Add your Comment property to the class and not to recordset
Add a Validate method to your class. Have it write to your Comment property (I use an Errors Collection)
Read the recordset
Parse it into a "new Customer"
Validate
Check the Comment property (or the Errors Collection)
You can use the MSDataShape with its SHAPE..APPEND syntax to append a new Field to an ADO Recordset. Here's a quick example using Jet (a.k.a. MS Access):
Sub ShapeAppendField()
On Error Resume Next

Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

.LockType = 4

"SHAPE {" & _
" SELECT existing_col" & _
" FROM Test" & _
"} APPEND NEW adInteger AS new_col"
Set .ActiveConnection = con
.Open
Set .ActiveConnection = Nothing

MsgBox .GetString

End With
End With
