Hello Nick,

This you can do with the MySQL ODBC Driver installed
(http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html). Further more
you need to activate Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects in the references.
You can use the following code:

<--Begin Code-->
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.RecordSet

Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
Set rs = New ADODB.RecordSet

cn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51
Driver};SERVER=data.domain.com;PORT=3306;DATABASE=myDatabase;USER=myUser
name;PASSWORD=myPassword;OPTION=3;"
cn.Open

sSQL = "SELECT * FROM database"

rs.Open sSQL, cn

If Not rs.BOF Then rs.MoveFirst
Do While Not rs.EOF
        Cells(1, 1) = rs.Fields(<index>)        ' This line you can
adjust with your own code
        rs.MoveNext
Loop

On Error Resume Next    ' This is my solution to make sure that the
recordset is always closed, _
                                        without the errorhandling there
occurs an error when you use a query _
                                        that doesn't return results
('INSERT' e.g.). If there is a better way _
                                        to close the connection, then
let me know.
If rs.State = adStateOpen Then rs.Close
On Error Goto 0
cn.Close

Set rs = Nothing
Set cn = nothing
<--End Code-->>

HTH,
Arjan.

Subject: Populate values in an Excel sheet from MySQL

Does anyone know if it is possible to populate values into an Excel
spreadsheet from a MySQL database? Can I do this directly in Excel or do
I need to create an external program to do the work (i.e. in VB).

Thanks
-Nick
