I am trying to create a VBA script that will pull the results from a View ( SELECT * FROM view_name
) from the RecordSet.Source
property, but when attempted, my CloseConnection error handler keeps getting caught. I can get results from a table using a simple query like SELECT * FROM tbl_name
with no issues.
Below is the code I am using. Note: my Const variable has the Provider and Database information removed.
I guess it really comes down to is it even possible to get results from a View like I would from a table?
Option Explicit
Const ConStrMSSQL As String = _
"Provider=provider_name;Database=database_name;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
Sub test()
Dim formConnect As ADODB.connection
Dim formData As ADODB.recordSet
Dim formField As ADODB.Field
Set formConnect = New ADODB.connection
Set formData = New ADODB.recordSet
formConnect.ConnectionString = ConStrMSSQL
formConnect.Open
On Error GoTo CloseConnection
With formData
.ActiveConnection = formConnect
.Source = "SELECT * FROM v_data_extract_658"
.LockType = adLockReadOnly
.CursorType = adOpenForwardOnly
.Open
End With
On Error GoTo CloseRecordset
Sheets("test").Range("A1").Select
For Each formField In formData.Fields
ActiveCell.Value = formField.Name
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Next formField
Sheets("test").Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset formData
On Error GoTo 0
CloseRecordset:
formData.Close
CloseConnection:
formConnect.Close
End Sub
This is the error message:
run-time error 2147467259 (80004005): unknown token received from SQL Server
I think the big issue here is that you haven't defined a Command Object.
I somewhat put this together "freehand" and for certain, didn't test it but it should get you to where you need to go.
Sub test()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandle:
Dim formConnect As ADODB.Connection
Set formConnect = New ADODB.Connection
formConnect.ConnectionString = ConStrMSSQL
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
formConnect.Open
With cmd
.ActiveConnection = formConnect
.CommandType = adCmdText
.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM v_data_extract_658"
.CommandTimeout = 30
End With
Dim formData As ADODB.Recordset
Set formData = New ADODB.Recordset
formData.Open cmd, , adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
Sheets("test").Range("A1").Select
Dim formField As ADODB.Field
For Each formField In formData.Fields
ActiveCell.value = formField.Name
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Next formField
Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset formData
On Error GoTo 0
Cleanup:
If Not formData Is Nothing Then
If formData.State <> adStateClosed Then formData.Close
Set formData = Nothing
End If
If Not formConnect Is Nothing Then
If formConnect.State <> adStateClosed Then formConnect.Close
Set formConnect = Nothing
End If
Set cmd = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrorHandle:
MsgBox Err.Description
'Do whatever else is needed to respond to errors.
Resume Cleanup
End Sub
Using Excel & VBA to fetch dta from SLQ Server is quite easy (not always, but these days).
Sub ADOExcelSQLServer()
' Carl SQL Server Connection

' FOR THIS CODE TO WORK
' In VBE you need to go Tools References and check Microsoft Active X Data Objects 2.x library
'
Dim Cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim Server_Name As String
Dim Database_Name As String
Dim User_ID As String
Dim Password As String
Dim SQLStr As String
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Server_Name = "EXCEL-PC\SQLEXPRESS" ' Enter your server name here
Database_Name = "NORTHWND" ' Enter your database name here

rs.Open SQLStr, Cn, adOpenStatic
' Dump to spreadsheet
For iCols = 0 To rs.Fields.Count - 1
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, iCols + 1).Value = rs.Fields(iCols).Name
Next

' Tidy up

As an aside, you can try this as well (please change to suit your specific setup/configuration)...
Sub Working2()
Dim con As Connection
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim strConn As String
Set con = New Connection
strConn = "EXCEL-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Database=Northwind;Trusted_Connection=True"
con.Open strConn
'Put a country name in Cell E1
Set rst = con.Execute("Exec dbo.MyOrders '" & ActiveSheet.Range("E1").Text & "'" & ActiveSheet.Range("E2").Text & "'")
'The total count of records is returned to Cell A5
ActiveSheet.Range("A5").CopyFromRecordset rst
rst.Close
con.Close
End Sub
