ODBC connection question
I have 2 questions on ODBC connection.
First, is it possible to use VBA to setup the ODBC connection to link to an access db located on each person local directory (same directory for all users). If so, can I get some example. Second, assuming that it is not possible, I setup a File DSN called "mydsn" and use the following code to connect. connstring = "ODBC;DSN=mydsn;UID=;PWD=;Database=mydatabase" With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=connstring , Destination:=Range("A1"), Sql:=sqlstring) .Refresh End With Everytime I run the macro, a dialog box appears asking me to "Select a data source", then I select the "File data Source" tab to find my "mydsn". Then another screen appears with ODBC Microsoft Access setup which shows the path to the local directory. Anyway to bypass these screens? I just want the user to click on "Import" and the macro will connect to Access and import the data into cell A1. Thanks in advance Mat |
