QueryTables.Add应用程序错误

Question

Sorry if this is quite a basic q - vb is definitely not where I spend the majority of my time...

Here's the code I'm stuck on - (Excel 2007)

    Set qt = ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=str1, Destination:=Range("Schedule!A4"), Sql:=SQLSTRING)
    qt.Name = "TEQuery"
    qt.Refresh <-- error thrown on this line

When I call refresh, I get 1004: Application-defined or object-defined error, which seems too generic of an error for me to figure out what might be the issue.

In the locals window I can see that the qt and activesheet.querytables objects are behaving as I expect (non-null etc.), and I've checked my query text definitely returns a sensible result when run at the data source. Any ideas?

ETA - I've noticed that Oracle Provider for OLE DB is missing from the data connections wizard - this is a new oracle client 11.2.0 install - got a new machine since I last used this macro...could this be the problem?

Answer 1

Glad to be answering my own question for once :)

I had the 64-bit client installed, so excel 2007 obviously couldn't connect, as it's a 32-bit application and required the 32-bit client drivers.

Still - shame about the generic error message!
