Hi Sharma, How do you define failure for the first query? 0 records returned? an error from the database server/engine?
What do you want to do with the result of the query? Put it on a (new?) sheet in your workbook? *writing* the queries using VBA is very simple. The following assembles the first query statement in a string variable: Sub WriteSQLquery () Dim SQL As String SQL = _ "SELECT " & _ " distinct AMRCostCtr " & _ "FROM " & _ " [SRT1].[RequestToolDev].[dbo].[vReqsocs] a, " & _ " [SRT1].[RequestToolDev].[dbo].[ReqMain] b " & _ "WHERE " & _ " a.ReqID = b.ReqID and MainRequestNumber = '365700';" End Sub Here's a robust-looking, general-purpose procedure called SQLLoad to open a recordset for your query and copy the data to a worksheet: Beyond Excel - Say Goodbye to QueryTables <http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/beyond-excel/say-goodbye-to-query tables/> . The associated blog actually contains a lot of good information and code for working with databases from Excel (some of it advanced). You will need a connection string to identify your data source and (if needed) credentials. Connectionstrings.com <http://www.connectionstrings.com/> has a large index of connection string examples. You should avoid Microsoft Jet connection strings and in cases where there are alternatives, ODBC connection strings, which have been replaced by newer drivers. (ODBC is still fine and commonly used with many non-Microsoft data stores). See if the above info gets you started. I can provide more help if needed.

SELECT distinct AMRCostCtr FROM [SRT1].[RequestToolDev].[dbo].[vReqsocs] a,[SRT1].[RequestToolDev].[dbo].[ReqMain] b where a.ReqID = b.ReqID and MainRequestNumber = '365700' If above query fails need to run the next query as given below. SELECT StationBranch FROM [SRT1].RequestToolDev.dbo.ReqAMROOS WHERE ReqID in (select reqid from [SRT1].RequestToolDev.dbo.ReqMain where mainrequestnumber = '365700') Thanks, Sharma -- FORUM RULES (986+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
