Hi, for bulk insert, I guess, you have to export your excel data as a TAB
separated text file and then try using SQL Server's bcp utility to choose the
table into which you want to insert the data and the data file. This should
take care of the issue. For further details you can look into SQL Server's
help documentation on bulk insert or bcp.

I'm trying to export data from an Excel worksheet into SQL Server. I've
heard that Bulk Insert or bcp might be the way to go, but I don't know
anything about how to go about setting that up. If this would be the most
efficient method for transfering data from Excel to SQL, could some please
point me in the right direction for modifying my existing code (Shown
Below).

I recently attempted to follow someones suggestion to used Stored
Procedures -- my 1st attempt at writing these .... The latest code that
I've tried using gave me the following error:
"Runtime error '3001'
Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in
conflict with one another.

Any ideas into what's causing the error? Could it be a conflict in data
types that's causing this?

Here's the code I was running:
====================================
1. The following Stored Procedure on SQL Server
==================================
create procedure dbo.usp_Insert_Upload_Specific
@Loc vchar(5),
@PType vchar(5),
@Quant integer,
@PName vchar(25),
@Style vchar(5),
@Features vchar(25)

AS

INSERT INTO Upload_Specific
(
Location,
[Product Type],
Quantity,
[Product Name],
Style,
Features
)
VALUES
(
@Loc,
@PType,
@Quant,
@PName,
@Style,
@Features,
)

GO

1. The following VBA code in Excel Module
===============================

Sub InsertData()
Dim oConn As Object
Dim sSQL As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wsSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Product Tracking")
Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open = "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=xx.x.xx.xx;" & _
"Initial Catalog=xxx_xxx;" & _
"User Id=xxxx;" & _
"Password=xxxx"

' NEW CODE HERE
Dim intParams As Integer
Dim objCmd As New ADODB.Command

' Connect the Command object to the data source.
objCmd.ActiveConnection = objConn

' Set CommandText equal to the stored procedure name.
objCmd.CommandText = "dbo.usp_Insert_Upload_Specific"
objCmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc

' Automatically fill in parameter info from stored procedure.
objCmd.Parameters.Refresh

' Get the count of required parameters SHOULD BE 20
intParams = objCmd.Parameters.Count - 1 'first one is RETURN value

DIM rng as Range
DIM ccell as Range
set rng = range("A2:T20") ' change this range to include all your data
For Each ccell in rng
' call the stored procedure

for x = 1 to intParams
objCmd(x) = ccell.offset(0,x-1)
next x

' now that all the parameters have been assigned values
' execute the query
objCmd.execute

next ccell

'close the connection
oConn.Close
Set oConn = Nothing
End Sub
==================
Initially, I tried this code (which effectively does the following):

1. Deletes all rows having a value of "0" in column C
2. Uploads the data in Row 2 to my SQL Server

What I need for the code to do is to upload all rows on the worksheet --
how would I modify the code to upload all rows, or iterate on each row
having data?

Here's my code:
========================
Private Sub DeleteBlankRows()

Dim lastrow As Long
Dim r As Long
lastrow = Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For r = lastrow To 2 Step -1
If Application.CountIf(Cells(r, "C").Resize(1, 1), 0) = 1 Then
ActiveSheet.Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next

End Sub

Sub InsertData()
Dim oConn As Object
Dim sSQL As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wsSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Product Tracking")
Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open = "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=xx.x.xx.xx;" & _
"Initial Catalog=xxx_xxx;" & _
"User Id=xxxx;" & _
"Password=xxxx"
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Upload_Specific " & _
"([Location], [Product Type], [Quantity], [Product Name], [Style],
[Features]) " & _
" VALUES ('" & Range("A2").Value & "', '" & Range("B2").Value & "', '"
&
Range("C2").Value & "', '" & Range("D2").Value & "', '" &
Range("E2").Value
& "', '" & _
Range("F2").Value & "')"
oConn.Execute sSQL
oConn.Close
Set oConn = Nothing
End Sub

Thanks in advance.
