So I'm trying to use the value from the inpubox, called
INDCODE here, to change the criteria for an external data
pull from Access. INDCODE is recongnized [in WHERE
(`Invoice Summary Query`.EXPENSE_INDEX_CODE=INDCODE)] as
the I can put my cursor on it after that step and see that
the value takes, but I get a general ODBC error on the
last step - .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

Help and thx in advance!

Message = "Please input the index code"
Title = "ICI report generator"
INDCODE = InputBox(Message, Title, "", 5250, 5250)
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=Array
(Array( _
"ODBC;DSN=MS Access Database;DBQ=C:\Documents and
Settings\jboy\Desktop\ICIREPORTING.mdb;DefaultDir= C:\Docume
nts and Settings\jboy" _
), Array("e\Desktop;DriverId=25;FIL=MS
Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;" _
)), Destination:=Range("A2"))
.CommandText = Array( _

Hi,



InputBox return a string and it seem that you need a number.

Inputbox is a string and works fine when hardcoded, though.
