Hi, I have posted this on the access group too, it can't really be classified as one or the other, but it's driving me mad, can anyone help.
I have an Access 2010 database, which I have saved as .mdb. (ie not accdb) It has an update query in, which takes 2 string parameters. When I run it from Access it works fine - asks me for the 2 parameters then updates the table accordingly. However, I am trying to run it from Excel VBA. At first I thought the issue was the parameters, so I created another update query which takes 0 parameters. The continual error I get is 'Operation must use an updateable query'. It goes without saying that I can connect to the database, and I can run normal Select statements - anyone got any ideas? Code below: (obviously the execute line is the one that gives the error). Function RunUpdateQuery(objConn As ADODB.Connection) Dim objCommand As ADODB.Command Set objCommand = New ADODB.Command With objCommand .ActiveConnection = objConn .CommandType = adCmdStoredProc .CommandText = "qryTest" .Execute End With End Function -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
