Wayne & Bob

Many thanks for your tip on reading a Excel range. Please note I have
a number of users using Excel and will need to writeback to SQL Server
creating a linked server using OpenDataSource will need the Excel file
to be on the server where SQL Server is running. So that means I must
ensure all these Excel updates from Clients must be saved onto a Excel
file on the SQL Server or on a network share to be available to SQL
Server this will greatly reduce concurrency of users running this
Excel to SQL Server writeback app and also they would need a network
access to a shared drive or to the server where SQL Server is located.
I would like to read the range in VBA and pass it to a stored proc
through ADO that way my application will have concurrency and
scalability.

Can you please suggest how I can pass a Excel range from VBA to a
T-SQL stored proc.

Thanks
Belinda

In order to do as Bob suggests, you must add the Excel spreadsheet as a
linked server ( this is doc'd in books on line.). THen use the 4 part name

select * from myexcel...namedrange

Hello All

I want to pass an Excel range data to a SQL Server stored procedure. I
am trying to pass the data in a Excel range in form of some VB array
to a stored procedure.

Can you kindly provide a simple sample code in VBA and in T-SQL stored
proc how I can do this.

Thanks
Belinda
