I have an Excel workbook with multiple sheets, each with its own Microsoft
Query. I have created a User Form to accept variables UsrID & Psw, which I then plug into the connection string for each query within a For Each . . . Next loop, as follows: For Each Sht in .Sheets(Array(etc. . . )) Sht.Activate Range("A1").Select With .Selection.QueryTable .Connection = "ODBC;DSN=servername;UID=" _ & UsrID _ & ";Pwd=" _ & Psw _ & ";" .Refresh.BackgroundQuery:=False End With Next Sht The problem is, if the UsrID/Psw combination is not valid, each connection attempt forces prompts for data source, ID & password. Is there a way to validate UsrID & Psw before reaching this For Each . . . Next loop, so that, if they are not valid, I will stay within a Do . . . Until loop & reshow the User Form for re-entry? I tried .DisplayAlerts = False before the .Refresh to see if there is an error to trap. It returns Run-time error '1004': General ODBC Error. Is it sufficient to trap this error on the first refresh & have the User Form accessed conditionally within this loop? It seems too non-specific an error to assume this is the only reason it will be thrown on the refresh??? -- Will |
