Method 1This example shows how to assign the contents of the field to a variable, and then to assign a cell to the variable. This code will place the "CustomerID" in cell A1 on Sheet1:
Sub GetTable() Dim Db As Database Dim Rs As Recordset Dim Path As String Dim Var1 as String Path = "c:\msoffice\access\samples\northwind.mdb" Set Db = Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(Path, ReadOnly:=True, _ Exclusive:=False) Set Rs = Db.OpenRecordset("Customers") Rs.MoveFirst Var1 = Rs("CustomerID") Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") = Var1 Rs.Close Db.Close End Sub Method 2This example shows how to use the Value property of Microsoft Excel to return the data in the specified field. This code will place the "CustomerID" in cell A1 on Sheet1.
Sub GetTable() Dim Db As Database Dim Rs As Recordset Dim Path As String Path = "c:\msoffice\access\samples\northwind.mdb" Set Db = Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(Path, ReadOnly:=True, _ Exclusive:=False) Set Rs = Db.OpenRecordset("Customers") Rs.MoveFirst Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") = Rs("CustomerID").Value Rs.Close Db.Close End Sub |
