Another easy way to get the connection string is to turn on the macro recorder when you build the external data table.

I was trying to read some data from access to excel. One of the fields constains a string of 0s and 1s. When I used
Set AcsRst = New ADODB.Recordset
AcsRst.Open sSQL, sConnect, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
Cells(x,x).Value = AcsRst.Fields("xx").Value

Just wondering, during the query, does it run in the background or will it run in the foreground and freeze everything until the results come out? I'm successful in doing this using MSSQL server as the backend, but when I use PostgreSQL and the mODBC driver or the psqlodbc driver, I'm faced w/ the query freezing that instance of excel until the time when the query results are returned to excel. This does not happen w/ MSSQL server.

Would really appreciate a response

I have one column in my Excel sheet, for which the recordset always returns value Nothing, although it clearly has (mixed texed and numeric) content.

Other columns (with text or numeric values) do not show this behaviour. Changing the format of the cell, manually typing the values again in Excel, ... nothing helped. Only if the cell has text content, it is recognised. Except for when I would type into Excel '100 (including the quote), then it returns value 100.

Any idea why and how to solve this curious behaviour ?
