[AccessD] Populate Unbound Listbox from SQL Server Recordset Help.

Hi Darryl,

Why use a recordset here? Why not just set the RowSource for your listbox to
strSQL, like this:

strSQL = ""
strSQL = strSQL & "SELECT BaselineSource, BaselineSourceID FROM
TFCT_tblBaselineSource"
strSQL = strSQL & " ORDER BY SortSequence;"
[Forms]![ITFCT_frmStartHere].lstbxAPLIDxUser.RowSource = strSQL

Asger

Emne: [AccessD] Populate Unbound Listbox from SQL Server Recordset Help.

Hi all,

I think I am getting my brain bogged down in all this and fouling something
simple up.  In short I want to use an ADO connection to return a RecordSet
to populate an unbound listbox on an Access Form.  And I cannot seem to get
it to work.  I do this all the time in Excel - that is copy a recordset to a
worksheet.  Can you populate an unbound listbox using the same concept?
Everything seems to work except the 'populate RowSource in listbox with
recordset data' bit. hmmmm.

'''========== IN EXCEL I USE THIS =======================

Option Explicit
Option Private Module

Sub DL_MECTable()

Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String

<non relevant code snipped>

Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
Set gobjXL = Application.ThisWorkbook

strSQL = ""
strSQL = strSQL & "SELECT BaselineSource, BaselineSourceID FROM
ITFCT_tblBaselineSource"
strSQL = strSQL & " ORDER BY SortSequence;"

With rst
    .Source = strSQL
    .ActiveConnection = DbADOConStr
    .CursorType = adOpenForwardOnly
    .LockType = adLockReadOnly
    .CursorLocation = adUseClient
    .Open Options:=adCmdText
    '.Open Options:=adCmdStoredProc
End With

Sheet2.Range("D13").CopyFromRecordset rst

<non relevant code snipped>

End Sub

'=====================================================


in Access I was using the same ADO connection code (which works fine) and
then:

[Forms]![ITFCT_frmStartHere].lstbxAPLIDxUser.RowSource = rst

but this goes into error.  I think I am fouling something up there.

Anyone got any pointers here?

Regards

Darryl.
