Hey I have written a macro that automatically pulls a query from access into excel now I am trying to make it where the user does not have to enter the SQL Server user ID and password every time they open the excel sheet because a lot of the users do not know the password.. I have copied my vba code below and any help would be greatly appreciated: (The bolded part is what is not working)

Sub BreadLinePerShift()
ActiveSheet.Range("L1") = Format(Now(), "mm/dd/yyyy hh:nn")


'Step 1: Declare your variables
Dim MyDatabase As DAO.Database
Dim MyQueryDef As DAO.QueryDef
Dim MyRecordset As DAO.Recordset
Dim i As Integer

'Step 2: Identify the database and query
Set MyDatabase = DBEngine.OpenDatabase _
("\\bburockfsxxpp01\public\New Production Folder\WinSPC3.accdb")
Set MyQueryDef = MyDatabase.QueryDefs("Bread Line Per")


'Step 3:Prepare the connection string
cnn.Open _
ConnectionString:="Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" & _
"Data Source=BBUROCKWSP" & strServerName & ";Initial Catalog=winsp" & strDatabaseName & _
";User Id=wins" & strSQLUsername & ";Password=bbu.win" & strSQLPassword

'Step 4: Define the Parameters
With MyQueryDef
.Parameters("[Start Date]") = Range("B1").Value
.Parameters("[End Date]") = Range("B2").Value
End With

'Step 5: Open the query
Set MyRecordset = MyQueryDef.OpenRecordset

'Step 6: Clear previous contents
ActiveSheet.Range("A5:E10000").ClearContents

'Step 7: Copy the recordset to Excel
ActiveSheet.Range("A6").CopyFromRecordset MyRecordset


'Step 8: Add column heading names to the spreadsheet
For i = 1 To MyRecordset.Fields.Count
ActiveSheet.Cells(5, i).Value = MyRecordset.Fields(i - 1).Name


'Step 9: Sort the data in column
Range("A5:E60").Sort _
Key1:=Range("B5"), Header:=xlYes


'Step 10: Refresh entire workbook
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll


Next i
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
