I've create an excel userform to collect data. I have connected it to Access to dump the data. However I want to update Access every time a user presses the submit button.
Basically I need the Select statement to determine an id existence, then if it doesn't exists I need to use the INSERT to add the new row. I'm very new with any SQL so any help would be great.
Here is the code I have now, I need to adapt it to ADO.
Sub Update()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim MyConn
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim StrSql As String
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
MyConn = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & TARGET_DB
With cnn
.Provider = "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0"
.Open MyConn
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.CursorLocation = adUseServer
rst.Open Source:="Foam", ActiveConnection:=cnn, _
CursorType:=adOpenDynamic, LockType:=adLockOptimistic, _
Options:=adCmdTable
StrSql = "SELECT * FROM Foam WHERE FoamID = " & txtMyID
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(StrSql, dbOpenDynaset)
If (rst.RecordCount = 0) Then
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO Foam (ID, Part, Job, Emp, Weight, Oven) VALUES " & _
"(" & txtID & ", '" & txtField1 & "', '" & txtField2 & "', '" & txtField3 & "', '" & txtField4 & "', '" & txtField5 & "' );"
End If
' Close the connection
rst.Close
cnn.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set cnn = Nothing
End With
End Sub
I revised your code sample just enough to get it working on my system and tested this version in Excel 2007.
When I use a value for lngId
which matches the id
of an existing record, that record is opened in the recordset and I can update the values of its fields.
When lngId
does not match the id
of an existing record, the recordset opens empty [(.BOF And .EOF) = True
]. In that situation, I add a new record and add the field values to it.
Sub Update()
Const TARGET_DB As String = "database1.mdb"
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim MyConn As String
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim StrSql As String
Dim lngId As Long
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
MyConn = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & TARGET_DB
With cnn
.Provider = "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0"
.Open MyConn
End With
lngId = 4
StrSql = "SELECT * FROM tblFoo WHERE id = " & lngId
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
With rst
.CursorLocation = adUseServer
.Open Source:=StrSql, ActiveConnection:=cnn, _
CursorType:=adOpenDynamic, LockType:=adLockOptimistic, _
Options:=adCmdText
If (.BOF And .EOF) Then
' no match found; add new record
.AddNew
!ID = lngId
!some_text = "Hello World"
Else
' matching record found; update it
!some_text = "Hello World"
End If
.Update
.Close
End With
Set rst = Nothing
cnn.Close
Set cnn = Nothing
End Sub
Using VBA, here is a sample of how to query for a certain ID
to check if it exists. If it does not then add it via an INSERT
statement:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim StrSql As String
StrSql = "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE ID = " & txtMyID
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(StrSql, dbOpenDynaset)
If (rs.RecordCount = 0) Then
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO MyTable (ID, Field1, Field2) VALUES " & _
"(" & txtID & ", '" & txtField1 & "', '" & txtField2 & "');"
End If
