Using ODBC function calls

D

Dave

I am trying to connect to an ODBC data source using VBA and I am
running into problems. The main problem occurs when my code queries a
table that isn't in the database. I'd like to just receive an error
and then respond to the error, but that isn't happening. As soon as the
query is attempted, it brings the computer to a complete halt with no
error codes. I am thinking that I need to get into using ODBC function
calls to interact with the database, but I am inexperienced using API
functions. I was just wondering if anyone could post some example code
using ODBC function calls.

Thanks.


FWIW, I am connecting like this:
----------------------------------------------------
Set wrkDBE = DBEngine.CreateWorkspace("tempWS", "admin", vbNullString)
Set condbs = wrkDBE.OpenDatabase("", 0, 0, "ODBC;DSN=insite;")
If Err.Number = 3151 Then Exit Sub

For Each tblObj In condbs.TableDefs
If Err.Number = 3146 Then Exit Sub
If tblObj.Name Like "* Info<Bag>" Then

Blah Blah Blah

condbs.Close
wrkDBE.Close

And like this:
---------------------------------------
Set wrkODBC = CreateWorkspace("ODBCWorkspace", "", "", dbUseODBC)
Set condbs = wrkODBC.OpenDatabase("ODBC;DSN=insite;")

Set rst(0) = condbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM ADI.""" & WellName
& _
SqlSep & WellBased & SqlSep & "Well Info<Bag>""")

condbs.Close
wrkODBC.Close
