I have an SQL database that stores millions of mine sample results.
Every quarter selected samples need to be pulled for analysis for
royalty payments. I want to query the SQL database and pull back all
of the relevant results into memory. Then I have the operator scan in
the sample barcode and vba tells the operator (via a userform) which
claim the sample is in and if it needs to be analyzed for this
quarter.

I've posted the relevant portion of the code I am having problems with.
Because of excels row limitation, I have to query the database in
chunks of 65000. I've tested each of these modules individually and
they work. However when put together, the query does not update
itself to get new data when it's conditions have changed.

I want to stay away from having the code query each time a sample is
scanned because the line to the SQL server experiences a high volume of
traffic resulting in a 5 - 10 second wait for each query. So the idea
is that the program runs when the spreadsheet opens and pulls all of
the data into memory. From there the operator can scan and get
instantaneous results.

Any ideas on how to get the query to refresh based on its new
parameters instead of just using the first parameters given in the
first loop? The SQL code was written using the macro recorder so it
isn't pretty but it works. The red text indicates the place where the
conditions are changed for each loop.
