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.

You can also download the demonstration file called "excelsql.zip".

The code is open and commented.

I have this posted in "access.formscoding" & am getting
help there.

"SteveT" was kind enough to give me code to transfer Access
Recordset data to Ranges in Excel. . .no problem.

It uses...(essentially)..

Set RS = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSql, dbOpenSnapshot)
. . .
objXLSheet.Range(strCellRef).CopyFromRecordset RS

I have a label's caption which I Dim Y As a String.
Trying to use the "CopyFromRecordset" Excel method
doesn't work. I know very little Excel.

How would I get this "Y string" to. . .
objXLSheet.Range(BobName).....

TIA - Bob
