VBA macro in Excel to Run SQL Insert statement - sql

Question

Hey im quite new to VBA and I was hoping someone could help me with last bit of code.
I am trying to take cells from a spreadsheet and add them to a SQL table but I am having trubble running the SQL statement. Here is the code I have so far.
Private Sub ConnectDB()
Dim oConn As Object
Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open = "DRIVER={SQL Server};" & _
"SERVER=SERVER02;" & _
"DATABASE=platform;" & _
"USER=5y5t3mus3r;" & _
"PASSWORD=*******;" & _
"Option=3;"
If oConn.State = adStateOpen Then
MsgBox "Welcome to Database!"
Else
MsgBox "Sorry No Database Access."
End If
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim Company As String
Dim Address As String
Dim Address1 As String
Dim Address2 As String
Dim County As String
Dim Contact As String
Dim Phone As String
Dim Fax As String
strCon = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strFile _
& ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"";"
Sheets("wsheet").Activate
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Source = Sql
With wsheet
MyFile = "C:\Users\Ryan.ICS\Documents\Documents\InsertStatement.txt"
fnum = FreeFile()
Open MyFile For Output As fnum
myRow = 2
myCol = 4
For myRow = 2 To InputBox(Prompt:="What is the last row of data?", Title:="Data Row", Default:=1)
myCol = 4
Company = ActiveSheet.Cells(myRow, myCol)
myCol = myCol + 1
Address = ActiveSheet.Cells(myRow, myCol)
myCol = myCol + 1
Address1 = ActiveSheet.Cells(myRow, myCol)
myCol = myCol + 1
Address2 = ActiveSheet.Cells(myRow, myCol)
myCol = myCol + 1
Address3 = ActiveSheet.Cells(myRow, myCol)
myCol = myCol + 2
Phone = ActiveSheet.Cells(myRow, myCol)
myCol = myCol + 1
Fax = ActiveSheet.Cells(myRow, myCol)
myCol = myCol + 1
strSQL = "INSERT INTO [sandbox].[5y5t3mus3r].[ryan] (Organisation, Address1, Address2, TownCity, County, Telephone, Fax) VALUES('" & Company & "', '" & Address & "', '" & Address1 & "', '" & Address2 & "', '" & Address3 & "', " & Phone & ", " & Fax & ");"
Print #fnum, strSQL
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL ***Here is where I am haveing an error it will not run the SQL command.****
oConn.Execute strSQL **** here is another tag I tried in a number of different ways but i still couldnt get the SQL statement to run
Next
End With
' Find out how many rows were affected by the Insert.
Set rs = oConn.Execute("Select ##rowcount")
' Display the first field in the recordset.
MsgBox rs(0) & " rows inserted"
oConn.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set oConn = Nothing
Close #fnum
End Sub
Function esc(txt As String)
esc = Trim(Replace(txt, "'", "\'"))
End Function
The error arises when I am trying to run the SQL statement do I need to create an object or method for this or something.
Any help with this would really be appreciated thanks!

Answer 1

I'd guess it's this line:
rs.Source = Sql
The Source property accepts an IStream as well as a string, so since Sql isn't declared anywhere, it's implicitly an object with a value of Nothing.
My next guess is a couple of lines below that, where does wsheet get assigned?
Of course, all this would be easier if we knew which line the error occurs on... easier still if you set a break point and step into the code -- you don't need to dump variable values to file, you can view them interactively in the debugger.

Answer 2

Instead of using the INSERT statement, I would suggest creating a stored procedure and passing values into it using the ADOBO.Command object.
