I am looking for advice on using Excel as an Access front end for data
entry. I googled this and found code for using DAO/ADO. I'm just wondering
if anyone has any good links for further suggestions.

Thanks
Bill
 
Here is some code

Sub AddData()
Dim oConn As Object
Dim oRS As Object
Dim sSQL As String

Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & "c:\bob.mdb"

sSQL = "INSERT INTO Contacts (FirstName, LastName,Phone, Notes) " & _
" VALUES ('Bob','Phillips','01202 345678','me')"
oConn.Execute sSQL

oConn.Close
Set oConn = Nothing
End Sub

Sub GetData()
Const adOpenForwardOnly As Long = 0
Const adLockReadOnly As Long = 1
Const adCmdText As Long = 1
Dim oRS As Object
Dim sConnect As String
Dim sSQL As String
Dim ary

sConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & "c:\bob.mdb"

sSQL = "SELECT * From Contacts"
Set oRS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
oRS.Open sSQL, sConnect, adOpenForwardOnly, _
adLockReadOnly, adCmdText

' Check to make sure we received data.
If Not oRS.EOF Then
ary = oRS.getrows
MsgBox ary(0, 0) & " " & ary(1, 0) & ", " & ary(2, 0)
Else
MsgBox "No records returned.", vbCritical
End If

oRS.Close
Set oRS = Nothing
End Sub

Sub UpdateData()
Const adOpenForwardOnly As Long = 0
Const adLockReadOnly As Long = 1
Const adCmdText As Long = 1
Dim oConn As Object
Dim oRS As Object
Dim sConnect As String
Dim sSQL As String
Dim ary

sConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & "c:\bob.mdb"

sSQL = "SELECT * From Contacts"
Set oRS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
oRS.Open sSQL, sConnect, adOpenForwardOnly, _
adLockReadOnly, adCmdText

' Check to make sure we received data.
If oRS.EOF Then
MsgBox "No records returned.", vbCritical
Else
sSQL = "UPDATE Contacts " & _
" SET Phone = 'None' " & _
"WHERE FirstName = 'Bob' AND LastNAme = 'Phillips'"
oRS.ActiveConnection.Execute sSQL

sSQL = "SELECT * From Contacts"
oRS.ActiveConnection.Execute sSQL
ary = oRS.getrows
MsgBox ary(0, 0) & " " & ary(1, 0) & ", " & ary(2, 0)
End If


oRS.Close
Set oRS = Nothing
End Sub
