Totally been burned by this, and it’s a real headscratcher when you’re trying to implement ADO for the very first time. I haven’t had to create any new solutions in a year or so, so would probably have bashed my head against it next time.

This looks like a great solution. Now the trick will be trying to remember you posted it!

As a certain insurance pimping dog might say, “Ohhhhhh yes!”

My SQL bothering subs have a boolean wildcard substitution parameter which will trigger the swap if needed.

I’m sure you already know about this Simon, but I just wanted to point out to your readers that SSIS is also a tool that is worth getting to know. It is Microsoft’s attempt to eat up the ETL market held by Cognos, Oracle, etc.

There is a bit of a learning curve, but this is a very powerful tool and tends to be more robust than Access.
