Mark,

Try something like the following:

Dim SQL As String
SQL = "SELECT tblStoreList.`Store Name` " & _
" FROM `\\RT-Admin\Adminshare\Robert\Setup`.tblStoreList
tblStoreList " & _
"WHERE (tblStoreList.`Store #`=" & Range("A1").Text & ")"

What is the proper syntax for using the contents of an Excel
cell in an SQL
Select/From/Where command. I'm trying to do a table lookup
look-up in an
Access DB from Excel based on the value of the contents in an
Excel cell.

Here is my statement.

SELECT tblStoreList.`Store Name`
FROM `\\RT-Admin\Adminshare\Robert\Setup`.tblStoreList
tblStoreList
WHERE (tblStoreList.`Store #`=?????)

I can't seem to get the right syntax for referencing cell B6 at
the end of
the statement. Both the cell and the Access table field are
numeric.

I started out using MS Query and put a specific value in the
statement.
Then tried to modify the SQL to reference a cell.

Any suggestions?
