How to connect to SQL db & update cells
 

Does someone have some sample code, or maybe point me to a
resource?

I have an excel spreadsheet, Column A has EmployeeID#'s,
say 500 rows worth. I want to loop thru each EmployeeID in
ColA and query a SQL Server database for LastName,
FirstName, etc. to populate ColB, ColC, etc.

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
ChrisB

How to connect to SQL db & update cells
 
My Guess is that your used ADODB or DAO - I've not used them to connect to a SQL Server database but have done so with Access Databases - the code below adds some records to an access db - I think you would need to change the provider - do you have a connection string for the SQL db

Sub DelFirstRec(
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordse
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordse
rst.Open "table name or SQL statement", "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=G:\___\db1.mdb;",
adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimisti
With rs
.AddNe
![1] = "1
![2] = "2
.Updat
.Clos
End Wit

End Sub
