Here is some code posted by "Bob" a short time ago:

Sub RunSQL()

' Create a connection object
Dim cnAssyst_Dev As ADODB.Connection
Set cnAssyst_Dev = New ADODB.Connection

' Provide the connection string
Dim strConn As String

'Use the SQL Server OLE DB Provider
strConn = "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;"

'Connect to the Pubs database on the local server
strConn = strConn & "DATA SOURCE=CAIRN10;INITIAL CATALOG=SQLDB;"

'Use an integrated login
strConn = strConn & "User Id=USER;Password=PASS;"

'Now open the connection
cnAssyst_Dev.Open strConn

'Get the start and end dates from Sheet 1
Dim startDate As String
Dim endDate As String
startDate = Range("Sheet1!B17")
endDate = Range("Sheet1!B18")


Sheets("Sheet2").Select


'Set the office to be reported on
Dim office As String
office = "OFFICE"

'Provide the string to hold the SQL Command
Dim sqlString As String

'The completed SQL Command
sqlString = sqlString & "SELECT sla.sla_sc, incident.incident_id,
incident.inc_resolve_due, incident.inc_resolve_act, "
sqlString = sqlString & "incident.inc_close_date, incident.inc_status,

sqlString = sqlString & "incident.time_to_resolve,

ORDER BY sla.sla_sc"

' Create a recordset object
Dim rsAssyst_Dev As ADODB.Recordset
Set rsAssyst_Dev = New ADODB.Recordset

With rsAssyst_Dev
' Assign the Connection object
.ActiveConnection = cnAssyst_Dev
' Extract the required records
.Open sqlString

' Copy the records into cell K2 on Sheet 2
Sheet2.Range("K2").CopyFromRecordset rsAssyst_Dev

' Tidy up
.Close
End With

cnAssyst_Dev.Close
Set rsAssyst_Dev = Nothing
Set cnAssyst_Dev = Nothing

End Sub
