For some reason my

VBA Code:
Dim db as DataBase

says Compile error User-defined type not defined. Does anybody know why it`s driving me mad

VBA Code:
Private Sub Combobox_List()

    Dim rsQry As Recordset
    Dim Qry As String
    Dim i As Long
    Dim db As DataBase
    Dim dbPath As String
    
Qry = "SELECT * FROM VehicleData"
dbPath = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=\\TGS-SRV01\Share\ShopFloor\PRODUCTION\DLS Cardworker\Access Files\DrNo Data Base.accdb;"
Set db = DBEngine.workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(dbPath)
Set rsQry = db.OpenRecordset(db, dbOpenSnapshot)
Model_Type.Clear

i = 0
While Not rsQry.EOF
'ModelType.AddItem
Me.Model_Type.List(i, 1) = rs.Fields("ModelType").Value
rs.MoveNext
i = i + 1
Wend
rs.Close

   
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
If this code is in Excel, you need a reference to the Microsoft Office 16.0 Access Database Engine Object library.

Thanks that`s stoped that from happening but
Now says on

VBA Code:
 db.OpenRecordset

Type mismatch?

That's because your code makes no sense. ;)

The first argument to OpenRecordset is a SQL string (or the name of a query/table), not a Database object. So it should be something like db.openrecordset("SELECT * from some_Table", dbOpenSnapshot)

Thanks very much for that
Sorry, one more question I seem to have Run-Time error 3051.
This is saying the access database is already open by somebody else but no one else uses this database.
Or it Says you need permission to view and write its data which makes no sense to me?

It's possible your previous attempts have left the database open and locked in a hidden process, so I'd try a restart. If that doesn't work, I need to know where the error occurs.

I have shut down and reopened but no luck?
The line below is the culprit.
VBA Code:
Set rsQry = db.OpenRecordset("Select * [ModelType]", dbOpenSnapshot)

That's not a valid SQL string - you are missing the FROM keyword before the table name.

Are you sure it's on that line? That doesn't really make sense as you've already opened the database.
