SQL Server - Execute SQL Server store procedure from Excel

Hi,

Could you please let me know why my code below isn't working?

Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = Cn
cmd.CommandText = "Exec TRP.M_Par_update_process"
'cmd.CommandTimeout = 1200 ' 20 minutes
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
cmd.Execute , , adAsyncExecute
MsgBox ("Loaded & Processed!")

When a button in Excel is clicked, I want it to execute a store procedure name "TRP.M_Par_update_process" in the SQL Server without having to wait in Excel until the procedure is completely done.

When I executed the store procedure using adAsyncExecute, how do I know when it's finish running? From the SQL Server Management Studio window, how do I check what are the procedures currently running?

Hi all

I know this question has already been answered, but if it helps I finished an article on how to build an Excel front-end, SQL Server Stored Procedure back-end that allows users to enter cell-based parameters:
