ODBCConnection.CommandText property (Excel)

Returns or sets the command string for the specified data source. Read/write Variant.

Syntax

expression.CommandText

expression A variable that represents an ODBCConnection object.

Remarks

You should use the CommandText property instead of the SQL property, which now exists primarily for compatibility with earlier versions of Microsoft Excel. If you use both properties, the CommandText property's value takes precedence.

The CommandType property describes the value of the CommandText property.

Example

This example sets the command string for the first query table's ODBC data source. Note that the command string is an SQL statement.

Set qtQtrResults = _ 
 Workbooks(1).Worksheets(1).QueryTables(1) 
With qtQtrResults 
 .CommandType = xlCmdSQL 
 .CommandText = _ 
 "Select ProductID From Products Where ProductID < 10" 
 .Refresh 
End With
