  1. Hello All;

    Must the these two path locations be the same for this ADODBConnection to work? That is the ThisWorkbook.Path and Target_DB.
    Command from above:
    ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & TARGET_DB

    Or, can the Workbook.Path be say
    “C:\MyExcelFiles\MyWorkbook.xlsx” & the Access data base TARGET_DB be in
    “C:\MyDataBases\MyAccessDB.accdb”?

    My code works when both the Excel WorkBook and Access DB reside in the same folder, but when they are in different folder (properly organized library structure, the code fails at the .Open MyConn point.

    Thanks All,
    Mario,

  2. rst(Cells(1, j).Value) = Cells(i, j).Value

    code breaks here
    ———-
    Error 3265
    Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal
    ———-

  3. Hello,

    my code runs until

    Sheets(“Sheet Name”).Activate

    I have got the sheet selected but nothing further happens.

    Could you advise?

    Thank you
