Stupid Question (sql)

Ok this is a stupid question and I am killing myself for it but here it goes...

How do i use a SQL statement to populate a recordset instead of just opening the recordset. I need to sort some data before i load it in.

Thanks

Set DB = OpenDatabase(App.Path & "\PNMA.mdb")
SqlStmt = "SELECT * FROM Genealogy ORDER BY Parent"
Set RSGene = DB.OpenRecordset("Genealogy", 1)
RSGene.Open SqlStmt

Here is the error I get..

"Object doesn't support this property or method (Error 438)"

try this

Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim Sqlstr as String


cnn.Provider = 'jour Provider voor .mdb databases access 2000
cnn.ConnectionString = App.Path & "\Data\dbFakt.mdb"
cnn.Open
cmd.ActiveConnection = cnn

sqlstr = "Select * From jour table"
cmd..CommandText = sqlstr
rst.Open cmd

this should do it.

The problem is that you're opening the table and then trying to do it again using your SQL statement. Try this...

VB Code:

Set DB = OpenDatabase(App.Path & "\PNMA.mdb") 
SqlStmt = "SELECT * FROM Genealogy ORDER BY Parent" 
Set RSGene = DB.OpenRecordset(SqlStmt , 1) 
'RSGene.Open SqlStmt
