Default Need to read external workbook


Hi,

I am right now working Excel using VBA. I am using DAO for reading a
external sheet data. I am not getting the output. Can some one hel
me in fixing this problem. Following is the code snapshot:

Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * from Instruction")
If rs Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Can't open the file!", vbExclamation
ThisWorkbook.Name
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
Exit Sub
End If

Here 'rs' is returning null. I am trying to open a work sheet name
'Instruction' from an external workbook file. Could you please let m
know the exact syntax for accessing the sheet information using DAO.
And also how to refer column header in the 'SELECT' query if the colum
names have words separated by space. For example "Project Name" is th
column header name separated by space. And any good DAO using VBA lin
will also help me.

Thanks in advance!

Rav
