Experts,<br />
&nbsp;I have an ODBC set up which links to a mySQL database, and need to run a query which produces a single column to subsequently populate a combo box in a worksheet. I know the SQL for the query, but it's been a while since I rolled up my sleeves in VBA so any help is much appreciated!<br />
<br />
So basically I need:<br />
1. VBA to connect to the ODBC<br />
2. run the Query (produces a single column- I have the SQL)<br />
3. populate a combo box in my worksheet with the result<br />
<br />
Many thanks

Populate combo-box from ODBC in Excel?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
