You're going to be using the ADODB library.  Try searching on that.
You'll use the connection string to create and open a connection object.
Then you create a command object, which is where your SQL goes, and you
work with the command object after you make the connection object its
active connection.

Subject: [AccessD] OLEDB Connection

How do you connect to SQL Server from Access using OLEDB?

I've used ODBC using a DSN but I don't have any idea how to use OLEDB.

I did some research on the issue, but all I found was the connection
string but nothing that told me what to do with it.

Where do I put it?

Is it better than using a DSN?

Are there any maintenance issues when deploying to multiple machines on
a LAN?

 

Many Thanks in advance.

 

Jim
