Thread: Updating Access record from Excel

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum, I need a macro where I can update particular record in Access table from Excel worksheet. I have a macro where I can append/Add new records in Access table from Excel work sheet :

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

'Author : Ken Puls (www.excelguru.ca)
'Macro purpose: To add record to Access database using ADO and SQL
'NOTE: Reference to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects Libary required

Dim cnt As New ADODB.Connection, _
rst As New ADODB.Recordset, _
dbPath As String, _
tblName As String, _
rngColHeads As Range, _
rngTblRcds As Range, _
colHead As String, _
rcdDetail As String, _
ch As Integer, _
cl As Integer, _
notNull As Boolean

'Set the string to the path of your database as defined on the worksheet
dbPath = ActiveSheet.Range("B1").Value
tblName = ActiveSheet.Range("B2").Value
Set rngColHeads = ActiveSheet.Range("tblHeadings")
Set rngTblRcds = ActiveSheet.Range("tblRecords")

'Concatenate a string with the names of the column headings
colHead = " ("
For ch = 1 To rngColHeads.Count
colHead = colHead & rngColHeads.Columns(ch).Value
Select Case ch
Case Is = rngColHeads.Count
colHead = colHead & ")"
Case Else
colHead = colHead & ","
End Select
Next ch

'Open connection to the database
cnt.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & dbPath & ";"

'Begin transaction processing
On Error GoTo EndUpdate
cnt.BeginTrans

'Insert records into database from worksheet table
For cl = 1 To rngTblRcds.Rows.Count

'Assume record is completely Null, and open record string for concatenation
notNull = False
rcdDetail = "('"

'Evaluate field in the record
For ch = 1 To rngColHeads.Count
Select Case rngTblRcds.Rows(cl).Columns(ch).Value
'if empty, append value of null to string
Case Is = Empty
Select Case ch
Case Is = rngColHeads.Count
rcdDetail = Left(rcdDetail, Len(rcdDetail) - 1) & "NULL)"
Case Else
rcdDetail = Left(rcdDetail, Len(rcdDetail) - 1) & "NULL,'"
End Select

'if not empty, set notNull to true, and append value to string
Case Else
notNull = True
Select Case ch
Case Is = rngColHeads.Count
rcdDetail = rcdDetail & rngTblRcds.Rows(cl).Columns(ch).Value & "')"
Case Else
rcdDetail = rcdDetail & rngTblRcds.Rows(cl).Columns(ch).Value & "','"
End Select
End Select
Next ch

'If record consists of only Null values, do not insert it to table, otherwise
'insert the record
Select Case notNull
Case Is = True
rst.Open "INSERT INTO " & tblName & colHead & " VALUES " & rcdDetail, cnt
Case Is = False
'do not insert record
End Select
Next cl

EndUpdate:
'Check if error was encounted
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
'Error encountered. Rollback transaction and inform user
On Error Resume Next
cnt.RollbackTrans
MsgBox "There was an error. Update was not succesful!", vbCritical, "Error!"
Else
On Error Resume Next
cnt.CommitTrans
End If

'Close the ADO objects
cnt.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set cnt = Nothing
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Please help me in building a macro where I can update field "StatusRemarks" where "VendorCode" and "RecdDate" matches the value.

I have attached my excel file with same fields as in my Access table.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Please wrap your code in tags

3. Use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # button at the top of the post window.
