VBA: Querying Access with Excel. Why so slow?

Question

I found this code online to query Access and input the data into excel (2003), but it is much slower than it should be:

Sub DataPull(SQLQuery, CellPaste)
Dim         


        

Answer 1

Since you're using Access 2003, use DAO instead, it will be faster with the Jet engine.

See http://www.erlandsendata.no/english/index.php?d=envbadacexportdao for sample code.

Note that you should never use the "As New" keyword, as it will lead to unexpected results.
