Getting fields from DAO database and placing them in variables

[parkin_m]

I have a microsoft access database (.mdt) which I am pulling data from into
excel. The idea is that I have a list of products in the database which are
pulled into a popup box userform in excel - the user selects how many of each
item and this is placed into the worksheet and the prices etc are added to
form an invoice.

What I currently have:

'----------------------------------------------------------------
Sub newConnection()
DAOCopyFromRecordSet "D:\Access\masterdatabase.mdb", _
"Products", "Description", Range("A47")
End Sub
'----------------------------------------------------------------

Sub DAOCopyFromRecordSet(DBFullName As String, TableName As String, _
FieldName As String, TargetRange As Range)
Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset
Dim intColIndex As Integer
Set TargetRange = TargetRange.Cells(1, 1)
Set db = OpenDatabase(DBFullName)
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(TableName, dbOpenTable) ' all records
'Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT description FROM " & TableName &
dbReadOnly) ' filter records
' write field names
For intColIndex = 0 To rs.Fields.Count - 1
TargetRange.Offset(0, intColIndex).Value = rs.Fields(intColIndex).Name
Next
' write recordset
TargetRange.Offset(1, 0).CopyFromRecordset rs
Set rs = Nothing
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
End Sub
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is allowing me to pull all of the fields from the description row, (i
understand how to do SQL queries) but I cannot work out how to get into each
of the single fields and store them in an array. If someone could help then
that would be great.

Dim rs As Recordset
Dim varrecords As Variant
Dim x as Long
rs.MoveLast
rs.MoveFirst
x = rs.RecordCount
varrecords = rs.GetRows(x)
