Bob,

Thank you for your quick reply -- let me see if I understand you correctly
....
When I open Excel, and run the Sub ProductData() routine, I should insert a
query just prior to the Insert Statement?

Could you give me an example of what the code might look like?

When I open Excel, I have the current value, I just need to append a suffix
value (preferable an alpha suffix if possible)

Do a query prior to the insert to get the MAX value where the field
contains Dallas, and then just add 1 to the count.

I have the following INSERT statement (which works fine) -- what I need is
to modify it so that the value of the field "Location" will be passed to
SQL server with a one-up suffix (example: on the 1st pass, append "1" to
the location Dallas, to get "Dallas 1" on the 2nd pass, Dallas 2, ect -- )
to track versions. I'm not sure how I would write the code to
automatically affix the next higher number. How would I go about doing
this?

Many thanks in advance.

Here's my code:
========================================
Sub ProductData()

Dim oConn As Object
Dim sSQL As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wsSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Products")
Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open = "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=xxx.xx.xx;" & _
"Initial Catalog=Products;" & _
"User Id=xxxxx;" & _
"Password=xxxxx"

For i = 2 To Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Upload_Specific " & _
"([Location], [Product Type], [Quantity], [Product Name], [Style],
[Features]) " & _
" VALUES ('" & Range("A"&i).Value & "', '" & Range("B"&i).Value & "',
'" & _
Range("C"&i).Value & "', '" & Range("D"&i).Value & "', '" & _
Range("E"&i).Value & "', '" & _
Range("F"&i).Value & "')"
oConn.Execute sSQL
Next i


oConn.Close
Set oConn = Nothing


End Sub
