I tried to run a query from an Excel worksheet. Below is my code but I think I am missing something here it does not work. I think my problem is the SQL code. Any help?
I still got "Automation error"
Thanks

Dear Fazza Thank you very much for the answer and sorry for the confusion. The code creates error; Object required. But all the object names are corect

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
Well, at least one must be wrong! :)

I wonder which one? Maybe the sheet name is not "RatingReport"?

Please single step (F8) through the code to identify which object is the problem.

Actually I did. when it comes to this line:
Code:
    rst.Open "SELECT CustName FROM tblRating WHERE CustID = " & CustIdTB.Value, _
        "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & TARGET_DB1
Object required error came out.
I am thinking maybe my references have some issue. I am using win7 64bit and office 2013
here is my reference:
*Visual Basic For Applications
*Microsoft Excel 15.0 Object Library
*OLE Automation
*Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library
*Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
*Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library
*Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects Recordset 6.0 Library
*Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.8 for DDL and Security

I don't know. Please check everything.

such as. what is the value of CustOIdTB.value
and the existence of J:\Gaming Common\PlayerMaster_Manual\DataFiles\DB_PlayerMasterManual.mdb

I hadn't tested earlier.
I have tested the below code which is now late bound - so no reference required to ADO

Code:
Const TARGET_DB1 = "J:\Gaming Common\PlayerMaster_Manual\DataFiles\DB_PlayerMasterManual.mdb"


Sub maybe()
    
    Dim rst As Object 'late bound
    
    Set rst = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
    
    rst.Open "SELECT CustName FROM tblRating WHERE CustID = " & CustIdTB.Value, _
        "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & TARGET_DB1


    With Worksheets("RatingReport").Range("A1")
        .EntireColumn.ClearContents
        .Value2 = "CustName"
        .Offset(1).CopyFromRecordset rst
        rst.Close
        Set rst = Nothing
    End With


End Sub

Hello Fazza,

Sorry, it's my bad:( I placed your code in private module. Because of the CustIdTB is a textbox in the worksheet, it should be placed under the RatingReport worksheet.
Now your code works perfectly fine. I will adjust the whole thing accordingly. Thank you very much for helping me out.
Cheers
Baha
