I have made the changes you suggest, with no succes.
I got the same results, one row in analyzer, and two in EXCEL.

try this

also, to make it easier to read, IMHO

strSQL = "EXECUTE sp_LibroVentas 'firstDate', 'secondDate'"
strSQL = REPLACE(strSQL ,"firstDate",Format$(dteFechaInicial, "YYYYMMDD"))
strSQL = REPLACE(strSQL ,"secondDate",Format$(dteFechaFinal, "YYYYMMDD"))

Here is the call, to the function that import the data

' Establecer el query o stored procedure a ejecutar
strSQL = "EXECUTE sp_LibroVentas '" & Format(dteFechaInicial,
"MM-DD-YYYY")
& "', '" & Format(dteFechaFinal, "MM-DD-YYYY") & "'"

' Importar la información a la hoja
lngRegistros = dfImportarRegistros(gconBD, "VXMETRO", strSQL, Hoja2,
lngRegistros + 1, True, bolBandera)

Where,
- gconBD, is the database connection objet
- VXMETRO is the data base where the SP will be executed
- strSQL is the previusly set query or stored procedure
- Hoja2 is the WorkSheet where the resultset will be copied
- lngRegistros + 1, is the row where we are going to start to cpy the
results
- True, is a bolean value indicating if the WorkSheet will be cleaned
before, the copy
- bolBandera, is a bolean value indicating if the COL Headers will be show
or not

And here is the version of the code that uses .CopyFromRecordset (The
comments are in spanish):

Private Function dfImportarRegistros(ByRef conConexion As

' Inicializar el recordset

how does your VBA code look?


(here db is the database connection that is already opened.)
Set rst = New Recordset
SQL = "sp_LibroVentas '20090501','20090531'"
rst.Open SQL, db, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

Thanks for the fast reply Patrick,

I have already removed the field date from the Store Procedure, and the
result is the same.

Any other idea?

Thanks in advance.

I like this question . Your English is fine and the two pictures
showing
the
results are really clear.

I suspect that the answer is in the dates... for example, is
05-01-2009
being handled correctly? it may be coming into the SQL Server as 1st
May
or
5th Jan?
change your dates to 20090501 / 20090531

Hello ppl,

The first thing of all i apologize myself for my bad English.

Ok, a little bit of history, i write a VBA macro for EXCEL that
retrieves
information from an SP in SQL Server 2K, and is not the first macro
that i
write, i have already writed a lot of this macros but this is the
first
time
i get this issue, and i can't figure it out how to solve it.

Ej.
I have a query that retrieve information from some tables, it group
the
results, and make some maths and return a single row per document,
i
tested
this view and works fine when you execute it from Query Analyzer, or
the
MMC

The following image is an example of the data returned by the query
in
the
query analyzer.
http://www.vycmex.com.mx/temporales/..._singlerow.JPG

As you can see there is a set of records returned, but we will focus
on
the
one higlighted, only one row returned by the SP, also you can notice
that
Im
using the tools from SQL Server 2008, but the server is 2K (this is
just a
note)

Now i execute the same stored procedure from my macro in EXCEL, and
sometimes not always i get some changed rows, and not all, only one
or
two
records.

The following image shows the same record i already show in the last
image
but in EXCEL the row is ungrouped, why? How? i dont know. also you
can
notice that if you sum the values of the cols SUBTOTAL, IVA,
IMPORTE,
you
get
the same values that i get in the Query Analyzer. (also the image
showed
uses
office 2007 pofessional, but i get the same result in Office 2K, and
2003)
http://www.vycmex.com.mx/temporales/...ultiplerow.JPG

So what things I have already tried,
- I change the way I import the data from SQL to EXCEL, I used the
instruction varHoja.Range().CopyFromRecordset rstResultados, also i
write
a
routine that gets value by value the result from the recordset and
copy
it
in
the EXCEL Sheet. I change the way i connect to the database, ODBC,
ADO,
ADO.NET

- I rewrite the query thinking that it was the cause but i already
change
it
two times, and i get the same result.
So at this point i feel a little bit frustrated, and i hope someone
in
this
forum can help me to figure it out this issue.

Thanks in advance and best regards.
