Imprt data from MDB file

[jrisebo]

I have some code to import from a MDB file. I want to make it variable, i.e. use a excel cell to set the path of the MDB file. I cannot figure out how to do this.

My code:


Sub MDB_DATA()
' MDB_DATA Macro
ActiveWorkbook.Queries.Add name:="tblStructures", Formula:= _
"let" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & " Source = Access.Database(File.Contents(""C:\Structures.mdb""), [CreateNavigationProperties=true])," & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & " _tblStructures = Source{[Schema="""",Item=""tblStructures""]}[Data]," & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & " #""Removed Other Columns"" = Table.SelectColumns(_tblStructures,{""FileName"", ""LiveLoadInc""})" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "in" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & " #""Removed Other Columns"""
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:= _
"OLEDB;Provider=Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1;Data Source=$Workbook$;Location=tblStructures;Extended Properties=""""" _
, Destination:=Range("$A$1")).QueryTable
.CommandType = xlCmdSql
.CommandText = Array("SELECT * FROM [tblStructures]")
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.ListObject.DisplayName = "tblStructures"
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub

Hi there,

Maybe something like the below:


Sub MDB_DATA()
' MDB_DATA Macro


Dim fPath As String
fPath = "C:\Users\NoName\Desktop\test.mdb"


ActiveWorkbook.Queries.Add Name:="tblStructures", Formula:= _
"let" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & " Source = Access.Database(File.Contents(""" & fPath & """), [CreateNavigationProperties=true])," & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & " _tblStructures = Source{[Schema="""",Item=""tblStructures""]}[Data]," & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & " #""Removed Other Columns"" = Table.SelectColumns(_tblStructures,{""FileName"", ""LiveLoadInc""})" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "in" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & " #""Removed Other Columns"""
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:= _
"OLEDB;Provider=Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1;Data Source=$Workbook$;Location=tblStructures;Extended Properties=""""" _
, Destination:=Range("$A$1")).QueryTable
.CommandType = xlCmdSql
.CommandText = Array("SELECT * FROM [tblStructures]")
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.ListObject.DisplayName = "tblStructures"
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub




Just refer fPath to a cell value than contains a path, like the below:


fPath = Range("A1").value

Hope this helps
