EXCEL to ACCESS

[austenr]

The following code is intended to write EXCEL records to ACCESS, however it will not compile. The compile error is on the Set cn =. However cn is defined above. What is up? Thanks in advance for your help!

Sub ADOFromExcelToAccess()
' exports data from the active worksheet to a table in an Access database
' this procedure must be edited before use
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection, rs As ADODB.Recordset, r As Long
    ' connect to the Access database
    Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
    cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _
        "Data Source=C:\FolderName\DataBaseName.mdb;"
    ' open a recordset
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
    rs.Open "TableName", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable
    ' all records in a table
    r = 3 ' the start row in the worksheet
    Do While Len(Range("A" & r).Formula) > 0
    ' repeat until first empty cell in column A
        With rs
            .AddNew ' create a new record
            ' add values to each field in the record
            .Fields("FieldName1") = Range("A" & r).Value
            .Fields("FieldName2") = Range("B" & r).Value
            .Fields("FieldNameN") = Range("C" & r).Value
            ' add more fields if necessary...
            .Update ' stores the new record
        End With
        r = r + 1 ' next row
    Loop
    rs.Close
    Set rs = Nothing
    cn.Close
    Set cn = Nothing
End Sub

You need to REFERENCE "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library"

[austenr]

example please

[JKwan]

In VBE goto Tools - References, scroll down until you see "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library"

[Bob Phillips]

example please

Go to the VB IDE - Alt-F11

Menu Item Tools>References

In the dialog box that pops up, scroll down to
"Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library"

where x is a version number (7 on my 2002 system)

check that box

exit, and try again

(or go late binding)
