[RESOLVED] connecting from outlook vba to access db through ado

hey,

I'm trying to connect outlook to access through ado.

I get runtime error 91: " object variable or with block variable not set" .

here's my code (vba in outlook):

---------------------------------------

VB Code:

Dim AccessConnect As String
      Dim Conn1 As ADODB.Connection
      Dim Rs1 As ADODB.Recordset
      Dim StrDbg As String
      
       AccessConnect = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
                     "Dbq=my_database.mdb;" & _
                     "DefaultDir=P:\;" 
 
      Conn1.ConnectionString = AccessConnect
      Conn1.Open
      
      Set Rs1 = Conn1.Execute("SELECT * FROM Stations")
      Rs1.MoveFirst
      StrDbg = ""
       
       While Not (Rs1.EOF)
            StrDbgp = StrDbg & "," & Rs1("station_no")
            Rs1.MoveNext
       Wend
 
       Rs1.close
       Conn1.Close
       Conn1.ConnectionString = ""

-----------------------------------------

any ideas why?

anyone?

Thats because you need to create a new instance of the connection object first before it can be used.

VB Code:

Set Conn1 = New ADODB.Connection

Same with the recordset object.

VB Code:

Set Rs1 = New ADODB.Recordset

Thanks! works great
