Excel VBA: Late binding reference

Question

I\'m trying to write some code for an add-in in excel, which grabs some data from an SQL Server. The code itself is working flawlessly, but somehow something got corrupted.

Answer 1

In answer to your question about late binding, this involves replacing the line of code

Dim Connection As ADODB.Connection

with

Dim Connection As object

and replacing

Set Connection = New ADODB.Connection

with

Set Connection = GetObject(, "ADODB.Connection")

And similarly for the other objects from that library.

Now, I am not sure if this will fix the actual issue that you are having. It sounds like there is a bug in the ActiveX library and you are hitting it, although nothing you are doing seems particularly esoteric.
