Running Macro from Access
Running Macro from Access
(OP)
I have an access database. I have a query that I run w/a button on a form in access. How can I have access run a macro in VBA to input some of the data into Attachmate from the query I run. I've seen people do it w/a form, but not a table from a query which is what I have. Here is some of the code I have to put the data into Attachmate, but I'm lost when it comes to dealing w/the table
CODE
Sub Main
Dim Sessions, System As Object, Sess0 As Object
Set System = CreateObject("EXTRA.System")
Set Sessions = System.Sessions
Set Sess0 = System.ActiveSession
Do
Sub Main
Sess0.Screen.Moveto 5,73
Sess0.Screen.Sendkey
'this is where i dont know how get 'the account number from the query/table that was ran, 'and what to do after that.
Loop Until IsNull(Account Number)
End Sub
Dim Sessions, System As Object, Sess0 As Object
Set System = CreateObject("EXTRA.System")
Set Sessions = System.Sessions
Set Sess0 = System.ActiveSession
Do
Sub Main
Sess0.Screen.Moveto 5,73
Sess0.Screen.Sendkey
'this is where i dont know how get 'the account number from the query/table that was ran, 'and what to do after that.
Loop Until IsNull(Account Number)
End Sub

Hi,
Seems you might want a FUNCTION that returns a value given the account number on a psrticular row.
What are you trying to return from your session/screen?

Since you're running this from MS Access, I'd suggest posting in forum705: Microsoft: Access Modules (VBA Coding).
I do ALL my Extra coding in Excel, since I always have data listed on a sheet for loading a screen. I'd do the query to your MS Access DB on an Excel sheet, loop thru the rows in the resultset to do what you apparently need to do -- which sounds like you're updating the mainframe with this account/code data.
If you want help doing this in Excel, post in forum707: VBA Visual Basic for Applications (Microsoft).

Yes, you can loop thru the rows in a table. You must set a reference to the DAO recordset library and then declare objects for yoiur database and recordset. Open the recordset and loop thru each row.

That's why I suggested you post in forum705: Microsoft: Access Modules (VBA Coding). I am not an Access VBA programmer. I can muddle thru, but I am not familiar with the Access Object Model or the DAO Object Model.
I am very familiar with the Excel Object Model and the ADO Object Model, which I use to grab data from Oracle, DB2, Access, Excel.
