This might be a help for getting data to and from Excel and Access: 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.

I know next to nothing about ADO, but here are a few links that
provide info on ADO:

Anyone familiar with deleting records using an ADO
Connection? I have an Excel template that sends data to
an Access database via ADO. I now need the ability to
find an existing record (I can do the find) via ADO and
delete it.
I can't install my ADO Help files so I am completely lost -
any idea why I can't install these files?
What I did find is rs.delete but I don't know what the
adAffectCurrent, adAffectAllChapters, adAffectGroup
choices mean.
Please help if you can.
