About this course
Pull exactly the rows you need out of closed workbooks, Access files and SQL Server without opening them. You learn why ADO beats opening the file, connection strings and providers, querying another workbook with SQL, Recordsets and CopyFromRecordset, parameters instead of string concatenation, and errors, cleanup and performance.
