Think if it this way:

T-SQL does all the data manipulation

VBA does the front end stuff (if you're using something like an Access FE and a SQL Server BE) -- pretty...

Not sure if it's possible, but one way might be to use an ADO connection from inside Excel to push the results to SQL Server...

John,

Any chance you can upload a copy of your report? The fun part is that you have to provide some data for it. So you have two options:

I would imagine there is. Kind of depends on how good you are at SSIS, SSAS and sometimes SSRS. Ask Koen... he does it every day.

you're not joining to the Inserted or Deleted virtual tables, so your result set is not getting filtered. Once you do that, only the affected records will be updated.

Sounds like you tried to run an update query without a filter. You shouldn't need one. Something like this should work.

CREATE PROC uspInsertRecord

@ProductCode VARCHAR(10)

AS

BEGIN

INSERT INTO MyTable(ProductCode, SomeDateField)

VALUES (@ProductCode,GETDATE())

END

You need to return just the date portion of the datetime field. After that, it's easy.
