Hi,

I need help to built a query based on a list.
I have 2 worksheets,
the first one contains some list of datas.
The second one will be populated with data from database which is not in the first worksheet.

I tried to create both queries directly in the code, such as query data where 'Account' NOT IN subquery. It took so long that I finally got a message of 'Execution Failed'.
So, now, I'm trying to first query data resulting in the list, put in the worksheet, but then
How to query data in the database which is not in the list (worksheet).

Thanks ahead.
 
I think what you need to do is:
Create a recordset of the data in the database.
For each record in a recordset, use VLOOKUP to try and find it in the first worksheet. If it isnt there, add it to the second worksheet.

Hi,
You can either build YourList to use in this syntax:
Code:
"WHERE  ACCOUNT NOT IN (" + YourList + ") "
or you can perform multiple SQLs, substituting each list value and taking each resultset and appending the results. Skip,
