Transfer data from a recordset to a worksheet (ADO)
2001-11-27 ADO 0 676
If you don't want to use the CopyFromRecordset method (Excel 2000 or later) you can use the procedure below to transfer data from a recordset to a worksheet. After you have connected to a database and retrieved data into a recordset variable you can use the procedure RS2WS to transfer the contents to a worksheet, including the recordset column headings:
' call the procedure like this: ' RS2WS rs, Range("A3") ' rs is an ADO recordset variable Sub RS2WS(rs As ADODB.Recordset, TargetCell As Range) Dim f As Integer, r As Long, c As Long If rs Is Nothing Then Exit Sub If rs.State <> adStateOpen Then Exit Sub If TargetCell Is Nothing Then Exit Sub With Application .Calculation = xlCalculationManual .ScreenUpdating = False .StatusBar = "Writing data from recordset..." End With With TargetCell.Cells(1, 1) r = .Row c = .Column End With With TargetCell.Parent .Range(.Cells(r, c), .Cells(.Rows.Count, c + rs.Fields.Count - 1)).Clear ' clear existing contents ' write column headers For f = 0 To rs.Fields.Count - 1 On Error Resume Next .Cells(r, c + f).Formula = rs.Fields(f).Name On Error GoTo 0 Next f ' write records On Error Resume Next rs.MoveFirst On Error GoTo 0 Do While Not rs.EOF r = r + 1 For f = 0 To rs.Fields.Count - 1 On Error Resume Next .Cells(r, c + f).Formula = rs.Fields(f).Value On Error GoTo 0 Next f rs.MoveNext Loop .Rows(TargetCell.Cells(1, 1).Row).Font.Bold = True .Columns("A:IV").AutoFit End With With Application .StatusBar = False .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic .ScreenUpdating = True End With End SubThe macro example assumes that your VBA project has added a reference to the ADO object library. You can do this from within the VBE by selecting the menu Tools, References... and selecting the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects x.x Object Library.
