I ran across a sample Excel VB macro that Ken wrote that connects to a local Access database and inserts the rows of excel data into the Access table. It works perfectly, except i need to connect to a remote Pervasive SQL database. I have had success doing some ODBC connections using the connection wizard . These were just Select statement queries, i need to be able to connect to my remote pervasive database and insert rows of data . i tried recording a macro so i could look at the connection string but have had no luck getting the string to work in VB. I am thinking that the Insert code would have to be adjusted to work with Pervasive. I supplied Ken's code below Thanks for any help that can be offered.
IP address of pervasive server: 192.168.1.70
Name of pervasive database: globalHII
Here is Kens Code:
