Select query for DBF table in Excel VBA throwing Type mismatch
Posted on 2011-02-22
Hi,
the below code is failing on the last line, it is throwing a type mismatch error between the MaintCause field and the 'Disaster' value.
MaintCause is a 50 character field so it shouldn't have a problem with comparing strings.
May it have something to do with the query needing to built special for a DBF?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" + root_directory + module_prefix + "\LINES\MAINT\; Extended Properties=DBASE III;"
c1SQL = "Select * from LnMt.dbf Where Maintcause = 'Disaster'"
rs.Open c1SQL, cn, , , adCmdText
