Hello

It's been a while since I've been programming in classical VB... (now doing
VB.net)
I now have to write some excel VBA stuff to access a Database (SQL-Server)
and I don't know how.
Is there any good tutorial or can anybody help me?
Finally, the user must be able to enter a number in the excel sheet and the
macro then gets a record from the database, using the user's input as
WHERE-argument
Thanks for your help!

Simon

This might be a help for getting data to and from Excel and Access:
It includes examples of using variables in SQL queries.
Easily adapted for Sql Server.
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.
