Thanks Dean.<br />

I read thru the info on OPENROWSET in the page linked to. &nbsp;Here's one of the examples given:<br />
<br />
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(<br />
‘Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0’<br />
,‘Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Temp\Order<wbr />Values.xls<wbr />;HDR=YES’<br />
,results) — “results” is a named range in excel<br />
<br />
It appears they are using a sheet in Excel (or range within the sheet) as their source. &nbsp;How would I go about using OPENROWSET against something in memory like an array or ADO recordset?<br />

I understand its possible to execute a sql statement against an Excel sheet.  Is it possible to execute a sql statement against something that's in memory like a record set or array?

Execute SQL Statement Against Record set or Array?

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.

Visual Basic Classic

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
