Query Tables (QueryTables) in Excel 2010 with VBA with VBA creating many connections

Question

I\'m following code I found on another site. Here\'s the basics of my code:

Dim SQL As String
Dim connString As String

connString = \"ODBC;DSN=DB01;UID=;PWD=;Da         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue. The previous answer while a definite step in the right direction is a PITA.

It did however allow me to refine my search and the winner is...

i.e. for your existing QueryTable Object just do this:

.MaintainConnection = False

Works ever so swell. No more Access DB lock file after the data is refreshed.
