I'm a little confused, what do you actually want to do?

Run SQL commands on an Excel Spreadsheet?

Hi

Required - Excel 2007 NOT 2003

Attached is a WB that

1 - Uses ADO to talk to the WB

2 - Uses SQL to get some records from 1 sheet to another

What you have to do:

1 - Modify the SQL (statement) to do what you want.

e.g
Select * from [Sheet1$]
Select Lastname, Firstname from [Sheet1$] where ID > 10

You can use Excel 2003 but then the provider info has to change.

F8 thru the code to get the hang of it.

Note:Using ADO against a WB introduces memory leaks (google)
but it has never bit me yet.

Try to stay away from the EXISTS thingie in SQL - its very slow.

You only get memory leaks when querying the same workbook that the code is in, this is easy to get round by having the code in a separate workbook

Hi Kyle

Good point!

(but I've been guilty along time) -g-

then he's going to have to change the FROM clause ??

IN ['c:myDir\myWB.xlsx\'] ??
IN [c:myDir\myWB.xlsx\] ??
IN 'c:myDir\myWB.xlsx\' ??

are any of those close - I don't remember - off top of head.
