My spreadsheet has an ODBC query in it that pulls data from an SQL database.
This has been placed in a macro named Refresh_Query() in Module1.

I put a command button from the Control Toolbox and named it RefreshButton.
Then double clicked the button to go into VB editor and in Shee1(Sheet1) it
has a Private Sub RefreshButton_Click(). I put Refresh_Query() in he

Private Sub RefreshButton_Click()
Refresh_Query()
End Sub

When I hit enter after typing Refresh_Query() I get an error: "Compile
error: Expected: =".

What does this mean? I know I've done this before. Do I need to declare
something as global?

Never mind, I found it.

Did not need the ().

Remove the () after Refresh_Query
