If DCount("Date_Ran", "tbl_Log", Int(Now)) > 0 Then
MsgBox "DB Has Already Been Updated"
Exit Sub
End If

Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
VBA Code:
DCount("*", "tbl_Log", "Date_Ran = #" & Date() & "#")

Probably also:
VBA Code:
If DCount("Date_Ran", "tbl_Log", "DateRan > Int(Now)") > 0 Then

The main thing is that the third argument must be a WHERE clause without the WHERE keyword, not just an integer.
