dll files in Excel VBA or ADO
Can you "#include" a dll file in an Excel routine using VBA or ADO? I am
trying to make a routine that a user can copy and paste, without any other efforts. Right now they have to select two references for the routine to work. I can not find the equivalent of #include for VBA/ADO. Thank you. Brent |

dll files in Excel VBA or ADO
Okay I already have it as the lazy way, but I still have to go to
Tools-References and pick A.D.O. 2.8 library. Is there a way that I don't have to go to Tools-References and do this for each new workbook?

You want to use Late Binding as demonstrrated by Tim. Early binding binds the
dll at design time where as Late Binding binds the dll at run time. So use... 'late binding - does not require VBA Project reference to ADO library Dim oRS as Object set oRS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") -- HTH...

I am still having to select the library, otherwise the VBA project will not
run and stops at: rs.Open "table1", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable "Jim Thomlinson" wrote: You want to use Late Binding as demonstrrated by Tim.

You'll need to replace those named constans with their actual values. Look them up in the ObjectBrowser (with a reference to ADO
added temporarily) Eg: adOpenKeyset = 1 adLockOptimistic = 3 adCmdTable = 2 rs.Open "table1", cn, 1, 3, 2 -- Tim Williams Palo Alto, CA "Brent" wrote in message ...
