Macro not able to connect to MS Access DB

[johnaubreymoore]

Hello All,

I'm new to this forum so I hope I am posting this in the right local. I'm at my wits' end with a macro designed to pull from Access.

I'm receiving Run-Time Error '1004': Application defined or object-defined error

The debugger selects ".Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False" at the bottom of this chunk of code.


With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:=Array( _
"OLEDB;Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Password="""";User ID=Admin;Data Source=X:\GBS_FO_AR_ARS_ReceivablesReporting\2_Queries\Aging Da" _

.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True

.ListObject.DisplayName = "Table_Aging_Database_2.0_Coree6.accdb"
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False


I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to VB so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Is there really a space between Refresh and Background?, as there should not be I don't think?

However a quick Google shows me to be wrong.

Have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5559644/vba-excel-querytables-add-refresh-backgroundquery-error

It is suggested to just use .Refresh

Curious that the query def has

.CommandType = xlCmdTable

then

.CommandText = Array("qry_Unapplied")

Which doesn't look like a table. But that could be just how it rolls (I haven't used code like this in a little while).

I think you might want to just rebuild the query without writing it by hand (do it in the Excel UI). You shouldn't necessarily need a refresh macro since you can refresh from the menu (ribbon) in Excel (without any VBA).
