Big Honkin' Query
I normally use SQL queries in my VBA code like this:
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset Dim sql As String cn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=ServerName;Database=DBNAME;Uid=x;Pw d=y" sql = "SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Field1 = 'MyValue'" rs.Open sql, cn It passes the string to the datebase and returns the results as a recordset. But now I have a query so large that it can not easily be contained as a string in my VBA. Is there a way to refer to a text file where it is kept, or some other idea? tod |

I feel your pain... I have run into the same thing. I solved this by passing
a concatenated string. So instead of having a varialbe called sql you end up with 3 varaibles like strSelect = "SELECT * " strFrom = "FROM Table1 " strWhere = "Field1 = 'MyValue'" rs.Open strSelect & strFrom & strWhere , cn Which oddly enough works...

How about a stored procedure in the database itself?
