Open Access from Excel
I currently have code in Excel VBA that pulls data from Access in my Excel
worksheet. However, it runs about 10 times faster if Access is already open. And (I'm not sure of this), I think it helps if an Access query is open and in design view. Can I have the code to: 1. Open Access database XXXX.mdb, if it is not already open 2. Open the query YYYY in design view 3. Ensure that the Excel worksheet is still active Hope this isn't a big ask - thanks very much in advance regards Daniel Bonallack |

Open Access from Excel
Hi Nick
Thanks for responding. I'm using VBA code in Excel to run an SQL query on the closed Access database, and import the data into Excel. Do you need me to be more specific? I can copy in the code if you want, but it's quite long. Daniel "NickHK" wrote: Daniel, How are you pulling the data into excel ? NickHK "Daniel Bonallack" wrote in message ...

Open Access from Excel
Daniel,
You using VBA with ADO recordset or Excel's DataGet External data functionality. Just post the opening code. NickHK "Daniel Bonallack" wrote in message ... Hi Nick Thanks for responding.

Open Access from Excel
I guess this would be the basic code.
So I want to check that Access is open, and preferably have a query open in design view Thanks! Sub GetBaseData() Dim DBFullName As String Dim Cnct As String, Src As String Dim Connection As ADODB.Connection Dim Recordset As ADODB.Recordset DBFullName = "xxx.mdb" ' Open the connection Set Connection = New ADODB.Connection Cnct = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " Cnct = Cnct & "Data Source=" & DBFullName & ";" Connection.Open ConnectionString:=Cnct With Recordset Src = "daniel's sql query code" .Open Source:=Src, ActiveConnection:=Connection Sheets("data").Select ' Write the field names For Col = 0 To Recordset.Fields.Count - 1 Range("A1").Offset(0, Col).Value = Recordset.Fields(Col).Name Next ' Write the recordset Range("A1").Offset(1, 0).CopyFromRecordset Recordset End With Set Recordset = Nothing Connection.Close Set Connection = Nothing End Sub "NickHK" wrote: Daniel, You using VBA with ADO recordset or Excel's DataGet External data functionality.

Open Access from Excel
Daniel,
I see no reason why you would need to open Access; you are using Jet/OLEDB to query the .mdb, so Access is irrelevant. The source of the apparent delay lies elsewhere.
