Query of an SQL Database
 

I have a query made to pull information in from a SQL database. From
time to time, this query exceeds the the 65,000 row limitation. So the
question is kind of two part.

1. How can I limit the query to only pull 65,536 rows of data?

2. How can I force the query to start dumping to a new worksheet once
the first one has reached it's capacity?

Thanks.

Use this clause in the sql of the query (go to the SQL window)

Select Field1, Field2 from table A;

becomes

Select top (x) field1, field2 from table A.

As for the second part, I believe you'll have to make code to scroll through
a recordset. Once you reach row 65536, start on another worksheet.


*** I would say that with newer versions of excel you can make pivot tables
DIRECTLY from external data (ie queries in access) or make an 'olap cube'
(look at the help for that one).

I'd explore one of those options. probably help you reach your true goal
easier.
