Type Mismatch error with QueryTable's sql property

[foxbldr]

Hi All,

I am running a VBA module that uses QueryTable object to populate a worksheet. I am getting an error with following line although my sql string looks ok.

With activesheet.QueryTable(....)
  .Sql= Array(strSqlStatement)
...

end with

strSqlStatement =" select ..,...,...,... from tbl1, tbl2,tbl3, tbl4 where <join conditions>"

Sometimes it works when I remove where clause but even it wasn't consistent. I am accessing Visual Foxpro Tables using DSN.

I am using MS Excel 97 and it uses Ms Query 8.00e .

Any help is much appreciated.

  .Sql= strSqlStatement
...

end with

No need for the Array qualifier when using a straight SQL statement.

I hope this helps.

RonRepp,

Yes, you are right! Usage of Array was giving me troubles.

Thanks -Foxbldr

The array is only there in the recorded version to control the number of characters......

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.
