Hello
Can a SQL stored procedure be called (it takes five parameters) from Excel?
Can a "For Next loop" be used to supply those variable parameters? If you
use parameters do you call them the same way that you would in VB?
Thanks

There are various ways of calling a parameterized stored procedure,
depending on data access technology used (ADO, ODBC, MS Query, etc)
and the DBMS product itself ('SQL' is vague - if you mean SQL Server,
say so). Post back with some more details, otherwise it's hard to
generalize.

Thanks for the answer. Sorry to make the question to general.
I would like to use the ado command object to pass parameters to a stored
procedure in a MS2000 SQL server. I am currently just passing the query
back as a string. This is common in VB and I have used that in VB projects.
I need to do some modification and was wondering if Excel would support and
be able to use the command object to send a request to SQL server with
multiple parameters. Here is a sample of the method I am familiar with to
add a parameter to the command object.(watch for line break).

cmdStoredProc.Parameters.Append
cmdStoredProc.CreateParameter("@QuestionNumb", adInteger, adParamOutput, ,
mvar2)
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the additional info but I'm sorry, I still don't get what
you are asking.

If your question is, 'Can I modify this code to add multiple *input*
parameters?' then the answer is, 'Yes, append them to the Command's
paramters as per your existing code does but specify adParamInput.'
