I have a query in access like this :

insert into table1
select * from table2

I want user to update the above query from asp web page. Table2 is a linked excel table in access where users update daily in excel.

At the end of the day, I want them to update it using the asp web page into main access database into table2. I tried the code below but i got error ` An action query cannot be used as a row source’

 <% set conn = create.object ("ADODB.connection")
 conn open "odbcconnectionname"
 sql = "appendquery"
 set rs = create.recordset ("ADODB.recordset")
 conn.rs sql, conn %>

    Something like:

    Set objConn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

objConn.Open  "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & dbfile & ";"

Set cmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")

cmd.ActiveConnection = objConn
cmd.CommandType = 4 ''adCmdStoredProc
cmd.CommandText = "appendquery" ''stored query
cmd.Execute recs

Response.Write recs & " updated"

    The error you are getting means more or less what it says, you must execute an action query, you cannot use it for a recordset.
