This is code that I used with DAO and Access97. However, when I try and run it with ADO and SQL server I get an error on the RS.AddNew "Object or Provider is not capable of performing this type of operation." I have looked at doing this through Insert statements, Bulk Copy, or DTS but I am perfornming alot of if then statements that seem to be easier with the Line Input function rather than copying to one table then manipulating, then copying to another table, then deleteing temp table etc, etc, etc. I have been working with SQL server for about 2 weeks now and I can't say that I like it. (I hope it gets better).

Which Provider?
What do your connection property settings look like? Which Provider are you trying to use? etc. give more code from before this set of code.

I found an article that suggests I try the following connection string but I can't seem to get it to work.
rs.OPEN("select * from authors", ;
"DRIVER={SQL Server};"+;
"SERVER=YourServerName;"+;
"DATABASE=pubs;"+;
"UID=YourUserName;"+;
"PWD=YourPassword",;
adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic)
Here is the full code:
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
cn.Open "provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" & _
"Password=;" & _
"Persist Security Info=False;" & _
"User Id=sa;" & _
"Initial Catalog=TPO;" & _
"Data Source=SLC-CUSTSQL"
rs.CursorLocation = adUseServer
rs.Open "Select Top 1 * From tMaster", cn
Open (App.Path & "\import\paid.txt") For Input As 1
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, sRecord
rs.AddNew
rs.acctnum , '1234567'
rs.Update
Wend
Close
rs.Close

I don't think SQL supports a dynamic cursor...try using a keyset cursor
or try a connection string like this:
rs.Open "Select * from authors", _
"Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=SERVERNAME;UID=USERNAME;PWD=PASSWORD;" & _
"Initial Catalog=DatabaseName", adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic

here's an example of adding a new record to the pubs database on a SQL server:
1. start a new standard exe
2. set a reference to whatever version of ado is on your machine
3. add a command button to the default form
4. cut and paste the following code to the form module:
Code:
Option Explicit
Dim strConnectionString As String
Dim strSqlCmd As String
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Public Sub Test()
'change the name of the SERVER to the SQL server you are using
strConnectionString = "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;USER ID=sa;PASSWORD=;" & _
"INITIAL CATALOG=pubs;SERVER=rdev1;"
' Set up the connection
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.ConnectionString = strConnectionString
cn.Open
'set up the recordset
strSqlCmd = "select * from authors"
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Source = strSqlCmd
rs.ActiveConnection = cn
rs.Open , , adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
If Not (rs.BOF And rs.EOF) Then
Do While Not rs.EOF
Debug.Print rs("au_id") & " --> " & rs("au_lname") & ", " & rs("au_fname")
rs.MoveNext
Loop
' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Uncomment the following when you want to add a new record
' to the authors table in the pubs database
' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' rs.AddNew
' rs("au_id") = "555-12-1212"
' rs("au_lname") = "MyLastName"
' rs("au_fname") = "MyFirstName"
' rs("phone") = "925-123-4567"
' rs("address") = "my address"
' rs("city") = "my city"
' rs("state") = "CA"
' rs("zip") = "12345"
' rs("contract") = 0
' rs.Update
' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rs.Close
End If
' Clean Up
If Not rs Is Nothing Then Set rs = Nothing
If Not cn Is Nothing Then Set cn = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Call Test
End Sub
...when you get the hang of SQL Server you'll never want to use MSAccess again.
