I have a table in Access 2010 db with same column names as the column names in excel sheet. I have to delete Access table data content before pumping data from my macro enalbed excel 2010 sheet into it.For now I m trying to see/test if I could pump my excel data to empty table in Access. Once I get this working, I could get 'delete content before dumping excel data' working.
Here's my excel vba macro code:
Sub ADOFromExcelToAccess()
'exports data from the active worksheet to a table in an Access database
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection, rs As ADODB.Recordset, r As Long
' connect to the Access database
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _
"Data Source=C:\Users\shress2\Documents\TSS_Certification\TSS_Certification.accdb;"
' open a recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open "t_certification_051512", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable
' all records in a table
r = 2 ' the start row in the worksheet
Do While Len(Range("A" & r).Formula) > 0
' repeat until first empty cell in column A
With rs
.AddNew ' create a new record
' add values to each field in the record
.Fields("Role") = Range("A" & r).Value
.Fields("Geo Rank") = Range("B" & r).Value
.Fields("Geo") = Range("C" & r).Value
' add more fields if necessary...
.Update ' stores the new record
End With
r = r + 1 ' next row
Loop
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
cn.Close
Set cn = Nothing
End Sub
I added Tools–> References and selecting Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 6.0 Object Library.
I m getting Run-Time error' -2147467259(80004005)':
Unrecognized database format 'C:\Users\shress2\Documents\TSS_Certification\TSS_Certification.accdb
Any reasons why? And how do I fix it? Thanks.
Best Answer
You are connecting to an .accdb database file. It's a Access 2007/2010 format.
The
Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
provider has been built for mdb files from Access 2003 era.I don't think you can connect with that provider (It fails to recognize the file format).
Try to change you connection string to use
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Users\shress2\Documents\TSS_Certification\TSS_Certification.accdb;"
