For testing purposes, I am trying to get some data from an MS Access table to a recordset in Excel using vba and SQL (direction: Excel + VBA to Access).
The MS Access table is called T_Zeiten and one column is called zeiDat which contains dates (European style like 09.11.2016).
What I want to do is opening a connection, look for all entries between two specific dates and write them to a recordset. I already managed to open a connection but struggle with the date stuff (US-style dates). The "From" and "To" dates in Excel are also formatted as "dd.mm.yyyy".
This is what I have so far:
Dim cn As Object
Dim ZeitenArbeitenGrob As Recordset
Dim strSqlZeitenArbeitenGrob As String
Dim start As String
Dim ende As String
start = Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(Cells(3, 2), "dd/mm/yyyy")
ende = Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(Cells(4, 2), "dd/mm/yyyy")
Dim strConnection As String
celllocation = 6
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
strConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:\Users\mj\Downloads\Neuer Ordner (2)\ZeitErfKonst.mdb"
strSqlZeitenArbeitenGrob = "SELECT COUNT(zeiDat) FROM T_Zeiten WHERE [zeiDat] BETWEEN #" & start & "# And #" & ende & "#"
cn.Open strConnection
Set ZeitenArbeitenGrob = cn.Execute(strSqlZeitenArbeitenGrob)
MsgBox ZeitenArbeitenGrob.Fields(0)
There are 15 entries but the messagebox shows me 213 and I don't know why.
