Call parameter query in Access from Excel VBA?
 

I've prepared a query in Access that calculates a number that I want to display in Excel, using VBA and ADO. Here's the query in Access:

PARAMETERS [p_month] DateTime;
SELECT Count(*) AS [Number]
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Occupancy.PersonID
FROM Occupancy WHERE (((Occupancy.Month)=[p_month]))
) AS [Table];

So, the query accepts a parameter and returns a value. Because it's just a value, I figure I won't need to construct a recordset object. All examples I've seen so far returns a recordset, but I hope to make this simple and fast. How would you call this query from VBA and how do you extract the return value?

Not that familiar with Acess, but most likely you could do this be adding an
"out" parameter to your procedure.
