Question

This works for importing an entire table from the ODBC database into Access:

DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "ODBC Database", "ODBC;DSN=SuperBase", acTable, "BDONAMES", "BDONAMES", False

But there is a table in the ODBC database with 517 fields and I only want to import, let’s say, 5 or 6 columns/fields. What is the best way to do this using VBA? I googled for a couple days and read 10 or 15 threads on stackoverflow but I haven’t seen this specific question answered. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try something on the lines of:

sSQL="SELECT This,That,TheOther,Columns INTO BDONames " _
   & "FROM [ODBC;DSN=SuperBase].BDONAMES"
CurrentDB.Execute sSQL
