CreateSQLCursor allows one to run sql against a database with vbscript. I ran across an example and have used it to do updates and counts. If there is another way to do this, I would appreciate learning how. The program I am using only uses vbscript. Thanks, Tim Tim Rutherford...

Does anyone know how to check the status of a cursor? I can't find help on this anywhere. This is updating a table. When I do a count on the table I only get 96 people and I should get 134. My assumption is there are a bunch of people missing a record altogether so I want to see who they...

Thanks Tom and Whom, I found the same solution at Microsoft. Appreciate your time! Sincerely, Tim Tim Rutherford www.Manna-Consulting.com

Hi, I want to put a file on a user's desktop, but I can't seem to find how to access that environment element. Seem to recall seeing a post in this group about it, but can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tim Tim Rutherford www.Manna-Consulting.com

Well it helps to have a field defined as decimal instead of integer. That was my problem as well. Thanks for the tips guys. Tim Rutherford www.Manna-Consulting.com

PH, I added your code and here is my code and I am getting error,"Operation is not allowed when the object is open" (same error I was getting before) ' Create the RecordSet objects. Set rst = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") ' This Recordset will hold the Distribution information '...

Currently, I am putting data into an adodb.recordset. I am using a field which needs to be decimal, but everytime I use it, the right side of the decimal is '00'. e.g. 15.35 comes in as 15.00. I have spent hours trying to find an example for this. I know I need to set NumericScale somehow...

Thanks Johnny! Your first suggestion worked great. Another one of those 'think outside the box' moments. Tim Tim Rutherford www.Manna-Consulting.com

Hi, I have a column which contains totals. I want to use SUMIF and add columns which have the word 'Total' but do not also contain the word 'Revenue'. Simple data layout is as follows; Col A Col B Revenue 1 50 Row 1 Revenue 2 175 Total Revenue...

You can also add a function to do it. Function AddRow(RowArray) 'idxRow s/b set to 1 at start ' of your program idxCol = 1 For Each idxCell in RowArray xl.ActiveSheet.Cells(idxRow,idxCol).Activate xl.ActiveCell = idxCell idxCol = idxCol...

Tom, FYI, I found if you don't have the sort statement before you start loading data, it doesn't sort it (I am using a report writer which uses vbscript). You need to have .Sort right after the .Open statement. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Tim Tim Rutherford www.Manna-Consulting.com

Tom, I found my problem. There needs to be an equal sign after 'Sort'. rst.sort = "a, b, c" I was using rst.sort "a, b, c" w/out the '=' Thanks for the ideas to check anyhow. Tim Tim Rutherford www.Manna-Consulting.com

Tom, When I comment out the 'Sort' line, the code works. However, as one would expect, not sorted. BTW, what parameters would I use with the Open statement. I am pretty new to adodb and don't recall seeing parameters for Open. Thanks, Tim Tim Rutherford www.Manna-Consulting.com

Hi, When I try adding a sort to my adodb, I am getting an error, 'Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment'. I have checked all over for examples and can't seem to resolve this. The error occurs with the sort. Will someone point out what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks, Tim...

XLBO, The error I am receiving is, "The cell or chart you are trying to to change is protected...", but this message occurs AFTER the event. I insert the row and protect the sheet again after that. Where can I prevent this message? Tim Tim Rutherford www.Manna-Consulting.com
