Greetings,
We have employed the Excel ODBC (open database connectivity) add-in in all
prior versions of Microsoft Office. We use this to pull data from SQL and
Access databases into Excel. Though I meticulously installed the add-in
after upgrading to Office 2007 Pro, and though it seems to display as
correctly installed, it does not function. I have found no useful
information on other forums including the main Microsoft knowledge base and
Office Help areas. Any info and tips would be appreciated.
Thanksl
 
See if this helps. Don't forget to; Tools|References and check the box for
'Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library'

Use the highest version that will still support your clients.


Public Sub testread()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs1 As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strSQL1 As String, strConn
Dim i As Integer
i = 1


'Use for Access (jet)
'strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" _
& "Data Source=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\" _
& "OFFICE11\SAMPLES\Northwind.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"


'Use for SQL server (OLEDB)
strConn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" _
