Hi it's getting frustrated.
I tried to use Excel 2007 to extract data from SQL Server 2008 R2. But I think it fails to connect to the server. >From Excel 2007, connection from data tab, I can access to the server and get data. the following is the connection string I got from the property. Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=ReadingEggTeam;Data Source=reportsrv;Use Procedure for Prepare=1;Auto Translate=True;Packet Size=4096;Workstation ID=MSERVER- DELL;Use Encryption for Data=False;Tag with column collation when possible=False;Initial Catalog=ReadingEggTracking >From a book called 'Wrox Excel 2007 VBA Programmers Reference', I tried to do the following below and I get an error at "rsData.Open sSQL, sConnect, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText" Dim rsData As ADODB.Recordset Dim sConnect As String Dim sSQL As String ' Create the connection sConnect = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;" & _ "Data Source=ReportSrv\report; Initial Catalog= ReadingEggTracking;" & _ "User ID=ReadingEggTeam; Password=1234;" & _ "Network Library=dbmsscon" sSQL = "SELECT * from TrialTracking;" ' Create the Recordset object and run the query. Set rsData = New ADODB.Recordset rsData.Open sSQL, sConnect, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText Then I tried to use the connection string I got it from the connection property. It didn't work. I think there is something wrong with connection string. Can you tell me what it is wrong pleasE? I can not figure it out...
