I'm using OLE DB CopyFromRecordset and getting empty cells where there should be text.
My connection string is supposed to be disabling the automatic type guessing, but it looks like that's not happening. For instance: row 1 has a floating point value, rows 2-12 are empty, row 13 is text, following rows are either numbers or empty. Row 12 is coming across as an empty cell.
What am I doing wrong?
My connection string is:
VBA Code:
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=S:\RMix\7. RM_QC Info\4.840AF\_4.840AF_table.xlsx;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=No;IMEX=1";
The connection object ConnectionString property is
VBA Code:
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;User ID=Admin;Data Source=S:\RMix\7. RM_QC Info\4.840AF\_4.840AF_table.xlsx;Mode=Share Deny None;Jet OLEDB:System database="";Jet OLEDB:Registry Path="";Jet OLEDB:Database Password="";Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=37;Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=0;Jet OLEDB:Global Partial Bulk Ops=2;Jet OLEDB:Global Bulk Transactions=1;Jet OLEDB:New Database Password="";Jet OLEDB:Create System Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Encrypt Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Don't Copy Locale on Compact=False;Jet OLEDB:Compact Without Replica Repair=False;Jet OLEDB:SFP=False;Jet OLEDB:Support Complex Data=False;Jet OLEDB:Bypass UserInfo Validation=False;Jet OLEDB:Limited DB Caching=False;Jet OLEDB:Bypass ChoiceField Validation=False;

I'm using (modified) code from Rob Bovey to open the recordset - here are the working pieces of the code:
VBA Code:
Dim Connection   As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs           As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strRequest   As String
Dim colSheetList As Collection
Dim LongName        As String
Dim src       As Worksheet
Dim idx      As Long

' get collection of sheet names in LongName
    Set colSheetList = GetSheetNames(LongName, objConnection:=Connection, _
        bPlainText:=True) 'add "$" for SELECT statement

''To read an entire sheet:
'strRequest = "SELECT * FROM Sheet1$"

    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
    For idx = 1 To colSheetList.Count

        strRequest = "SELECT * FROM [" & colSheetList(idx) & "$]"
        sz = "Unknown format"
        On Error Resume Next
        rs.Open strRequest, Connection, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
        err_ = Err.Number
        On Error GoTo 0
        If err_ = 0 Then
            src.Cells(1).CopyFromRecordset rs 'import worksheet
        End If
VBA Code:
