Command text was not set for the command object error messag

[Kurt]

Hello Everyone,

I have the following code:

Sub command_dyer3()
    Dim conn As New Connection
    Dim rec As New Recordset
    Dim comm As New Command
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("command")
    conn.Open "Provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;" + _
        "Data Source=" + ThisWorkbook.Path + "\FromDyer.mdb;"
    Set comm.ActiveConnection = conn
    comm.CommandText = _
    strSQL = "USE CHEC" & _
    "SELECT DISTINCT" & _
        "DAT01.[_@051] AS Branch," & _
        "DAT01.[_@550] AS LoanType," & _
        "DAT01.[_@040] AS Date," & _
        "DAT01.[_@LOAN#] AS LoanNum" & _
        "FROM DAT01 INNER JOIN [DATE_CONVERSION_TABLE_NEW]" & _
        "ON DAT01.[_@040] = [_@040]" & _
        "INNER JOIN [SMT_BRANCHES]" & _
        "ON DAT01.[_@051] = SMT_BRANCHES.[BranchNbr]" & _
    "WHERE" & _
        "DAT01.[_@040] Between '06/01/2006' And '06/30/2006'" & _
        "AND DAT01.[_@051] = '540' " & _
        "And DAT01.[_@LOAN#] Like '2%' " & _
        "And DAT01.[_@550] = '3' " & _
    "Group BY" & _
        "DAT01.[_@051]," & _
        "DAT01.[_@550]," & _
        "DAT01.[_@TP]," & _
        "DAT01.[_@040]," & _
        "DAT01.[_@LOAN#]" & _
    "ORDER BY --[DATE_CONVERSION_TABLE_NEW].MONTH," & _
        "DAT01.[_@051]"
    comm.CommandText = strSQL
    'comm.Parameters(0) =
    rec.Open comm
    ws.[a1].CopyFromRecordset rec
    rec.Close: conn.Close
End Sub

The error message stops on this line:

rec.Open comm

What am I doing wrong?

TIA
