Runtime Error 462

waubain · Sep 10, 2013

I am doing screen scraping from Reflections and have typically sent the output to Excel and never had a problem. I am now trying to write to Access. Like many of the other threads, I am getting a runtime error 462 every other time I run this code. In trying to solve the problem, I have commented out all code pertaining to recordsets and basically have left the macro as opening and closing and I still get the error. I must be missing something and not closing all references to Access.

Can anyone see something I am missing? Thank you.

Code:

Sub UpdateTest()

Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim ws As DAO.Workspace

    
    dbPath = "S:\Pharmacy General\Databases Automation\Databases\Test\Test.accdb"
    Set ws = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
    Set db = ws.OpenDatabase(dbPath)
    Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblRPHITemp", dbOpenDynaset)
    
    ....processing code

    rs.Close
    Set rs = Nothing
    db.Close
    Set db = Nothing
    ws.Close
    Set ws = Nothing
    Access.Application.Quit


End Sub

After some additional reading, I think I have it fixed without really understading how I fixed it. I changed my code to:

Code:

Sub UpdateTest()

Dim objAccess as Access.Application
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
    
    dbPath = "S:\Pharmacy General\Databases Automation\Databases\Test\Test.accdb"
    Set db = objAccess.DBEngine.OpenDatabase(dbPath)
    Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblRPHITemp", dbOpenDynaset)
    
    ....processing code

    objAccess.Quit acQuitSaveAll    
    Set objAccess = Nothing
    Set rs = Nothing
    Set db = Nothing

End Sub
