Access from Excel using ADO
 

Hi,

I don't have an answer for you - but I really need to know
how to add data from Excel to an Access Database. Please
respond.

Thanks.

Hello, please help if you can.

I am using ADO to add data from Excel to an Access
Database. I am successful so far. I only need to add two
things:

1. How can I add an "AutoNumber" column using ADO?

2. When adding fields to a table, how can I tell Access
that the field may be null (equivalent to
setting "Required" to no) using ADO?

Your example code would be most appreciated. Thanks in
advance for your assistance.

Access from Excel using ADO
 

This might be a help for getting data to and from Excel and Access: It
includes examples of using variables in SQL queries.
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/sql.html

Or you can get there from the "Excel with Access Databases" section on page:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/examples.htm

It demonstrates how to use SQL in Excel's VBA to:

* create a database,
* create a table and add data to it,
* select data from a table,
* delete a table,
* delete a database.

DAO and ADO files available.

You can also download the demonstration file called "excelsql.zip".

The code is open and commented.
