Click to expand...
Set up a DAO or ADO connection to the database file, then create a
recordset. With DAO, this would mean a QueryDef on the table; with
ADO you should be able to make the SQL part of the command you use to
create the recordset.

If you need more help, you have to give more information, like the
application and the version in which you're writing the VBA code...
