I have an MS Access application that contains all tables linked to SQL Server, so in MS Access VBA code or query I work with those tables very simple, I access them via name, like [Customers]
.
Also I have a stored procedure in SQL Server called sp_CopyData
which I need to call from my VBA code. How can I do that without creating new connection to SQL Server (I already have it somewhere!? because I have access to tables)?
Or it's impossible? Appreciate any help. Thanks!
The right answer found out, it should be like:
Dim qdef As DAO.QueryDef
Set qdef = CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef("")
qdef.Connect = CurrentDb.TableDefs("[ANY LINKED TABLE TO MS SQL SERVER]").Connect
qdef.SQL = "EXEC sp_CopyData"
qdef.ReturnsRecords = False ''avoid 3065 error
qdef.Execute
Create a pass-though query, and you can then use this throught the WHOLE application anytime you need to execute some T-SQL.
The code this becomes:
With CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qPass")
.SQL = "exec sp_copydata"
.ReturnsRecords = False ''avoid 3065 error
.Execute
End With
The code in MS Access works for me:
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=[DB];Data Source=[PC];Integrated Security=SSPI;"
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
cmd.CommandText = "sp_CopyData"
cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("@param", adVarChar, adParamInput, 255, param)
cmd.Execute
Try:
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute "EXEC sp_CopyData"
