Hi all

I'm getting the above error on a new PC I'm setting up, it doesn't happen with the other PC's in use with the same code!

Code:
    With CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
        .Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=K:\KKDB.accdb;"
        .Execute "INSERT INTO TestOpen (TestField) VALUES ('" & Sett.Cells(42, 2) & "') "
        .Execute "DROP TABLE Goodsbackup;"
        .Execute "SELECT * INTO GoodsBackup FROM Goods"
        .Execute "DELETE FROM Goods;"
[COLOR=#ff0000]        .Execute "INSERT INTO Goods SELECT * FROM [Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;DATABASE=" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "].[DBGoods$]"
[/COLOR]        .Close
    End With

The 'read-only' error occurs on the line in red, but everything before it executes without error.

Any ideas?

Best regards

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
