Hi Polilop,

data).

Try asking this in a group specific for classic vb. If there's a sub-group for
data connection problems, then in that. Also try the data.ado newsgroup.
Whatever works in classic VB should also work in Office VBA, pretty much 1:1,
as far as connecting and picking up the data goes.

Also, for the connection string, take a look at http://www.carlprothman.net/
