Hi,

On ms excel I have a sub to send a sql command to ms access

Dim objAcc As Object
Set objAcc = CreateObject("Access.Application")
objAcc.OpenCurrentDatabase "D:\1CNC\APPS\CNC_newapp.mdb"
With objAcc.Application
.Visible = False
'.DoCmd.RunMacro ("Macro1")
.DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE FROM ttools where tid=7878 and pid=4324"
.DoCmd.Quit
End With

Is the best way to do it?

The db in question will be always open and that particular table will be
always open

Thank you all!!!

If all you're trying to do is delete data from the mdb file, there's no need
to instantiate another instance of Access.

Try simply

DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE FROM [;Database=D:\1CNC\APPS\CNC_newapp.mdb].ttools
where tid=7878 and pid=4324"

or (better in my opinion, since it doesn't pop up confirmation windows, plus
will raise a trappable error if something goes wrong)

CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE FROM
[;Database=D:\1CNC\APPS\CNC_newapp.mdb].ttools where tid=7878 and pid=4324",
dbFailOnError
 
Thank you for answering my post!!

I am not only going to delete records but also modify some information
"UPDATE......"

on MS Excel I have modified my sub

Sub Temp()
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE FROM [;Database=D:\1CNC\APPS\CNC_newapp.mdb].ttools
where tid=7878 and pid=4324"
end sub

I get an error: Run-time 424 Object requiered.

Thanks again!!!

I totally missed the fact that you were trying to call this from Excel.

What you've got is probably appropriate, although you might get better
advice if you ask in an Excel-related newsgroup.

Thanks,

I would like to hear your opinion on this also.
The CNC_newapp.mdb is the front end, I have the CNC_tables.mdb.

so when I call the function it goes to the front end and from it, It goes to
the back end.

Woud it be better if I run my code agains the back end?

Thank you!!!

I doubt you'd see any meaningful difference.

I would say use the back end directly, but only if you're using only
tables and not queries stored in the front end.
