I query an excel file from an excel file, part of the code reads:

"WHERE (`List$`.LAST Like 'we%')")

the we% is searching for names in cells that begin with we.

How do I rewrite "WHERE (`List$`.LAST Like 'we%')")

to instaed of using 'we%' it uses Range("a1")

thanks,
Chas
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Chas,
This should do it.
"WHERE (`List$`.LAST Like '" & range("A1") & "%')")

Years of building on the fly formula's to add to worksheets. You need to build them in a string format, like a SQL statement.
