I am only a novice at code but have recorded and then added bits to the
following code which extracts data from a MS Access database. I have placed
it with 'This Workbook' to fire on open and everything works correctly. My
problem starts is when I try to run the code again (to simply refresh the
data) when the following actions will not run i.e. it does not copy down to
cells below

x = 2
Do Until Cells(x, 7).Value = ""
Cells(x, 19).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormulas
x = x + 1
Loop

The full code (which is exactly) what fires on open - and works great is as
follows). Are there parts to this code which I don't need, maybe that is
stopping the code (refresh) from working? That said everthing within the
'refresh' code works except the part that copies down the formula from S2.
BTW there is data in G2:G.

I have posted in our groups but I'm lost and baffled as to why the code will
work in fully on opening but not when forced

Thanks

That statement should cause an error.
Range("S2").Copy
would be fine.

You have asked it to carry out the query in the background which means
that the query may not have completed by the time you try to copy and
paste the formula.

The code could be tightened up quite a bit as there is quite a lot of
unnecessary selecting being done, but that's the way the macro recorder
works.

For the record, I would reduce it to something like this:

Thanks Bill

I have given up, broken it down in to an 'add query' and then a Refresh one.
I had been running the 'add' over and over again, but all I required
apparently was refresh. Thanks for the tightened code

Just trying to run your code, and a message comes back saying its looking
for the Data Source. One thing that is different with your code is the
following, which it doesn't have, does the code need it?

DefaultDir=C:\timepoint;Driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};DriverId=281;FIL=MS Access;M" _), Array( _

"axBufferSize=2048;MaxScanRows=8;PageTimeout=5;Saf eTransactions=0;Threads=3;

)),

Most of the connection string can be omitted as they are default values
anyway. Looks like I was a bit too mean with what I left in!

Try adding
;Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};UID=Admin
back into the connection string
