Creating a Macro that loads the most current dBase file.
Hello,
I am using Excell 2000 to query an external dBase file. This file is created each day with the following format: 040605AW.dbf The next day a new one is created (Y/M/D): 040606AW.dbf I sucessfully recorded a Macro that follows my MS Query steps to bring this data in to my spread sheet. I then can do a dynamic refresh. Works great! But it only points to that one file. I've tried to record "down arrow key" and "end" key stocks but the macro still only records what ever file I had selected. I need to modify the macro so that it only gets the last created file. Any help? Thank you in advance. Below I have listed the complete Macro for your review: Sub GetData() ' ' GetData Macro ' Macro recorded 5/21/2004 by The Shredder Company ' ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+g ' The If Then code is used to prevent multiply data files crowding the spread sheet If [C2].Value < 1 Then With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _ "ODBC;DSN=RSView;DefaultDir=C:\TEMP\SHINEBROTHERS_ R SVIEW\DLGLOG\RSVIEW;DriverId=277;FIL=dBase IV;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;" _ , Destination:=Range("A1")) .CommandText = Array( _ "SELECT `040521BW`.Date, `040521BW`.Time, `040521BW`.RTD_1, `040521BW`.RTD_2" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr (10) & "FROM `040521BW` `040521BW`" _ ) .Name = "Query from RSView_6" .FieldNames = True .RowNumbers = False .FillAdjacentFormulas = False .PreserveFormatting = True .RefreshOnFileOpen = False .BackgroundQuery = True .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells .SavePassword = True .SaveData = True .AdjustColumnWidth = True .RefreshPeriod = 0 .PreserveColumnInfo = True .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False End With Columns("A:A").Select With Selection.Interior .ColorIndex = 15 .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With Columns("A:A").Select Selection.Font.Bold = False Selection.Font.Bold = True Range("E2").Select End If End Sub |
