In the macro posted below, I have two values I input in A1 and A2.

These values are used and then cleared. Is there a way to have these values returned at the very end of the macro into Results!D2 and Results!D3?

Code:
Sub ATest()
Dim i As Integer
Dim lrow As Long
Dim irow As Long
Dim Cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim Server_Name As String
Dim Database_Name As String
Dim User_ID As String
Dim Password As String
Dim SQLStr As String
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Dim startDate As Date
Dim endDate As Date

Server_Name = "GGVORNE\SQLEXPRESS" ' Enter your server name here
Database_Name = "VorneDB" ' Enter your database name here
User_ID = "vorne" ' enter your user ID here
Password = "VData!!!" ' Enter your password here
startDate = Range("A1").Value
endDate = Range("A2").Value
SQLStr = ""
SQLStr = SQLStr & " SELECT * FROM [VorneDB].[dbo].[interval_stream] "
SQLStr = SQLStr & " WHERE [start_time] >= '" & Format(startDate, "yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss.000") & "'"
SQLStr = SQLStr & " AND [end_time] < '" & Format(endDate, "yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss.000") & "'"
MsgBox SQLStr
Debug.Print SQLStr
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set Cn = New ADODB.Connection
Cn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=" & Server_Name & ";Database=" & Database_Name & _
";Uid=" & User_ID & ";Pwd=" & Password & ";"

rs.Open SQLStr, Cn, adOpenStatic
' Dump to spreadsheet
With Worksheets("sheet1").Range("a1:z50000") ' Enter your sheet name and range here

    .CopyFromRecordset rs

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Since the variables in which you store them in don't get changed then all you have to do is output them at the end of your code.

Code:
    startDate = Range("A1").Value
    endDate = Range("A2").Value
'...
'...code
'...
    Worksheets("Results").Range("D2").Value = startDate
    Worksheets("Results").Range("D3").Value = endDate

Ok I wasn't sure if they would store the values because after the dates are used, the info in A1 and A2 is deleted and replaced.

I will try this and let you know the results.

Thank you.

Glad to hear it works. For future reference anytime you assign a value to a variable that value gets stored in the computer's memory and will remain there until you change it or the the sub ends.

Here just a simple breakdown

Dim startDate As Date
— Allocates memory of size date to the variable startDate

startDate = Range("A1").Value
— Takes the value stored in A1 and copies it to the memory allocated by the dim statement.

I will definitely remember and use this in the future. Thanks for the explanation.
