Here is the problem that I am having with an Excel spreadsheet
application – While attempting to import text files into an
Access .MDB database through the procedure I have listed below:
This is the calling function:
Sub AddFilesToDatabase()
' --- Asks for files to load and for name of and existing
' or new database into which to load them
' --- Create a new database if necessary, then creates a table
' in that database for each file chosen by the user,
' a different routine is called for this depending on
' whether the file is a data file or a plate map file.
' Lets user choose multiple plate map and well data files,
parsed them and stores
' them in the data base.

Dim i As Integer, irow As Integer, iSize As Integer

that will be created to hold your plate map files and data files.")

cdlOFNLongNames Or cdlOFNHideReadOnly
.filename = " "
If sLastDir <> "" Then .InitDir = sLastDir
.ShowOpen
sDatabaseLocation = .filename
sDatabaseName = .FileTitle
End With
' sDatabaseLocation = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" &
sDatabaseName & ".mdb"

DBTableName = SanitizeString(RemoveSpaces(InputBox("A
Table with the name " & SanitizeString(RemoveSpaces(UserFiles

This is the function where I'm having the problem
Sub OpenNRecords(SQLString As String, N As Integer)
' --- Opens the table sNameOfTable in the current database

' and reads in N records into recset.
' cn and recset are public variables

The template spreadsheet closes down when it reaches the highlighted
code:
If sDatabaseLocation <> "" Then
connstring = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= " &
sDatabaseLocation & ";Persist Security Info=False"
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open (connstring)
Set RecSet = New ADODB.Recordset
With RecSet
.ActiveConnection = cn
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.CursorType = adOpenDynamic
.MaxRecords = N
.Open Source:=SQLString, LockType:=adLockOptimistic
End With
End If
End Sub
