Can't quite get this syntax to bring in the required information.
I want to have the user type into cell A1 then the query will get the
correct information. The following works: "SELECT JOB_NO.CUSTCODE, JOB_NO.JOB_NO" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "FROM `K:\DATA\DBDATA\JOBDATA`\JOB_NO.DBF JOB_NO" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "WHERE (JOB_NO.JOB_NO=50068)") but now I want to replace the 50068 above with a cell reference to the value in cell A1. I've tried and tried and can't get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

"SELECT JOB_NO.CUSTCODE, JOB_NO.JOB_NO" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & _ "FROM `K:\DATA\DBDATA\JOBDATA`\JOB_NO.DBF JOB_NO" & _ Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "WHERE (JOB_NO.JOB_NO=" & Range("A1") & ")" In more recent versions of Excel you can give your query a "parameter" which you can specify as coming from a range - and even have the query re-run automatically when the value in the range changes. Select a cell in your query results and try Data / Get External Data / Parameters Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - reply in newsgroup |
