Ok I am not a VBA guy, I can understand a good amount of code but I need Google for the most part :p

I had this bit of code created for me to import a bunch of Excel documents into 5 tables inside access. The problem is that it works on a test database but not on my working database.

I guess what I am looking for is some direction on where I might look for issues.

Adding code, not sure if it will help :confused:
Code: 
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public objExcel As Object 'Excel.Application
Public blnNewExcelLaunched As Boolean
Const blnOverWriteWithoutConfirmation As Boolean = True 'Change this to false, and the script will ask for confirmation before overwriting
Sub ProcessThisForm(strFile As String)
    Dim wbk As Object 'Excel.Workbook
    Dim wks As Object 'Excel.Worksheet
    Dim lngLastRow As Long
    Dim lngStartRow As Long
    Dim lngLoop As Long
    Dim rst As Recordset
    Dim lngFormIDForeignKey As Long
    Dim lngCategoryIDForeignKey As Long
    Dim strCurrentCategory As String
    Dim lngRowsDiscardedBelow As Long
 
    If objExcel Is Nothing Then
        On Error Resume Next
        Set objExcel = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
        Err.Clear: On Error GoTo -1: On Error GoTo 0
        If objExcel Is Nothing Then
            Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
            blnNewExcelLaunched = True
        End If
    End If
    objExcel.Visible = 1
 
    Set wbk = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strFile, 0, 1, , , , 1, , , 0, 0, , 0)
    For Each wks In wbk.Worksheets
        If wks.Visible = -1 Then 'xlSheetVisible
            Exit For
        End If
    Next wks
 
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
 
    lngStartRow = wks.Range("$A:$A").Find(What:=1, LookAt:=xlWhole).Row
    lngLastRow = wks.Cells(wks.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    Debug.Print wks.Cells(lngStartRow + 2, 3).Value
    Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [COI] FROM tblSMRForm WHERE [COI]=""" & wks.Cells(lngStartRow + 2, 3).Value & """", , [dbSeeChanges])

The problem is that it works on a test database but not on my working database.

Can you be a little more specific? How does it work or not work? What happens? Do you get an error message, or what? More details make it easier to help diagnose the problem.

Well the way the script should work is:
  1. Loop a bunch of Excel files get the data
  2. Import it into 4 tables (tblSMRForm, tblQandA, tblCategory and tblPersonnel)
  3. If there is an error with one of the files (like a date is wrong) then add a record to tblErrorLog for manual review.
On my test db everything works, you can see it loop though the files and the records are added to the tables properly

On the live database you can see excel open as it loops the excel files BUT no records are added to any table.

I might want to add, the only differance from the TestDB to the LiveDB is that I have other tables, macros reports and scripts in the live one. All I do is move the Modules over to the live db and try to run them.

The test DB uses the same SQL tables as the live DB.

No error messages, no issues with debug DB compiles and runs fine outlide of this.
 
Code: 
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [COI] FROM tblSMRForm WHERE [COI]=""" & wks.Cells(lngStartRow + 2, 3).Value & """", , [dbSeeChanges])

I get a type mismatch on this line in the live database but not in the test database.... Not sure why :confused:
 
Change this line:
Dim rst As Recordset

to this
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset

and if you get the User Type not defined error then you have to make sure that the DAO reference is set when on the other computer (open its copy and go to the VBA window, TOOLS > REFERENCES and see if DAO 3.x (where .x is .51 or .6) is checked (if you are on 2007 or 2010 you should see
Microsoft Office Access Database Engine Object Library instead as that is the DAO reference for those (using the ACCDB file format - using the mdb format it would be the other).
