ADO SQL: Im getting CRAZY
Hi all! I cant solve very simple task. All I need is a query "SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Field LIKE '*value*'" But it seems Microsoft is too huge company to let me just do that like in PHP. Im using DAO because hope it will work more often then ADO now do :) 1) DAO worked ONLY whith syntax [TableName$] but most of examples not using it. 2) I have working query Sql = "SELECT * FROM [TestList$]" Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(Sql) 3) But cant make work WHERE clause like this: "SELECT * FROM [TestList$] WHERE A LIKE 'asdas'" It gives me Run-Time 3061. In the internet I read about some _parameters_ in query. Anybody can tell me which more PARAMETERS wants from me crazy excel programmres? Or just wrong syntax? Please help. -- VladimirM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VladimirM's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24993 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=385216 |

ADO SQL: Im getting CRAZY
The syntax is OK but I think probably the interpreter is having some trouble
due to ambiguity in the names (it is interpreting the [TestList$] as a parameter, apparently - but only when you have the WHERE clause). The first thing I would try is to give a complete reference to your WHERE clause like this: "SELECT * FROM [TestList$] WHERE [TestList$].[A] LIKE 'asdas'" This might help MS Jet (assuming you are using Access) interpret the table name and column correctly. If that does not work, try building the query - at least this simple one - using MSQuery instead of directly through ADO, and then view the SQL code within MSQuery to see how it is written there. If you can get the query to run in MSQuery, you can see what the proper syntax looks like and modify it however you need to. "VladimirM" wrote: Hi all! I cant solve very simple task.

ADO SQL: Im getting CRAZY
Hi Vladimir,
Before I go off in the wrong direction and give you an answer to a question that you haven't asked, can you confirm a couple of things for me/us please? Do I understand correctly that you are trying to use VBA, ADO and/or DAO from one Excel workbook to fire off a query and return some records from a table (named range or worksheet) in some other Excel workbook? Or is it some VBScript that you're looking for us to help you with in order to return a recordset to a web page? Grateful if you can please confirm and provide a bit more information in regards to your purpose and that will give me/us the best chance to help you to help yourself. Any code snippets of how far you've already got would probably assist too. (As an aside, personally I normally prefer ADO over DAO and regardless, the LIKE operator is always a bit tricky because you have to use the SQL 'flavour' and syntax that the host provider/database understands.) Cheers, Sean. "VladimirM" wrote: Hi all! I cant solve very simple task.
