I am an extreme newbie on VB, so I apologize if this seems so simple. I am trying to run a module from an Excel spreadsheet that will open and run an Access macro. I have been able to open the database using the OpenDatabase function, but it then prompts me for which query, table, or form I want opened. Do I need to even open the database in this manner 1st? I just want to run my specified macro from within the Access db. Any suggestions?

I don't know if there's even a way to do what I want. I click on a
button in an Access form, and it opens an instance of Excel, and opens
a workbook and runs a macro that's in it. So far, fine, I know how
to do this. I'm preferring to keep the Excel instance invisible, but
while the macro is running, it would be nice to see some sort of
progress indicator.
(By the way, here's basically what the Excel macro is doing: it's

Hoping someone has some ideas on how to solve this issue:
I have a macro in excel which runs a query against an Access DB (it
actually calls a query inside of Access). The query is not bringing
back all of the records even though I can run the query directly in
Access or Microsoft Query and get all the records returned. For ease of
troubleshooting the query can be a simple select * call from the macro
to Access. Even with this basic call...

Hi, folks - I am trying to build a macro that Outputs a query to Excel,
then Auto Starts the Excel doc to show the query results.
I'd like Excel to be the top window when this is done, but my macro
always restores MS Access to the front when it finishes, hiding the new
Excel doc. I've tried ending my macro with "MinimizeApp", but it simply
minimizes Access... then immediately restores it again, covering Excel.
Is there a way to force...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
