ODBC connection for insert into SQL Server

[nevada]

I'm able to do the following to SELECT from a SQL Server:

--

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"ODBC;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=myServer;UID=;APP=Microsoft Office
XP;WSID=myWorkstation;Trusted_Connection=Yes" _
, Destination:=newsheet.Range("A1"))
.CommandText = Array( _
"SELECT myData FROM myTable")

---snip ---

End With

--

I did this easily enough through Data/Import External Data.

How do I establish the same connection in order to do an INSERT into
the SQL Server? Can I do this through an ODBC connection?

For some reason I'm not able to create an ADODB.Connection object. I
do have Microsoft ADO Ext 2.7 added as a resource. Is there another
resource that I need? If so, how do I get it?

Thanks,

NS

This might be a help for getting data to and from Excel and Access. It's
easily adaptable for SQL Server.

It includes examples of using variables in SQL queries.
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/sql.html

Or you can get there from the "Excel with Access Databases" section on page:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/examples.htm

It demonstrates how to use SQL in Excel's VBA to:

* create a database,
* create a table and add data to it,
* select data from a table,
* delete a table,
* delete a database.

DAO and ADO files available.

You can also download the demonstration file called "excelsql.zip".

The code is open and commented.
