Hi arzize

ADO is Microsofts' latest (not that new) component and usually recommended
by those that recommend things of that nature. If you need a sample, post
the path to your DB and a table name and I'll post back.

Good Luck

Excel vba docs document sql links to databases including access
My goal is to query access (in sql) and analyse the result from vba (not
publishing it in excel).
I read about SQLopen() statements. I would like to try such. My vba does not
recognise the sets of functions and I read that i need to load xlodbc.xla. I
looked in most docs and sites for this add in and I cannot find it.
I have therefore two questions:
- can i find this xla?
- should i use a DAO / ADO link instead?
