To read data from an SQLite database using VBA, you’ll need to leverage the SQLite ODBC driver and connect to the database using ADO (ActiveX Data Objects). Here’s an example of VBA code that reads data from an SQLite database:
Sub ReadDataFromSQLite() Dim conn As Object ' ADODB.Connection Dim rs As Object ' ADODB.Recordset Dim strSQL As String ' Connection string for the SQLite database Dim connStr As String connStr = "Driver={SQLite3 ODBC Driver};Database=C:\Path\to\your\Database.sqlite;" ' Specify the SQL query to retrieve data from the SQLite database strSQL = "SELECT * FROM TableName" ' Replace TableName with the actual table name or query ' Create a Connection object Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") ' Open the Connection to the SQLite database conn.Open connStr ' Create a Recordset object and execute the SQL query Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rs.Open strSQL, conn ' Loop through the recordset and read the data If Not rs.EOF Then rs.MoveFirst Do Until rs.EOF ' Read data from the recordset and do something with it Dim fieldValue As Variant fieldValue = rs.Fields("FieldName").Value ' Replace FieldName with the actual field name in the table MsgBox fieldValue rs.MoveNext Loop End If ' Close the recordset and the connection rs.Close conn.Close ' Clean up the objects Set rs = Nothing Set conn = Nothing End Sub
In this code, you need to download and install the SQLite ODBC driver appropriate for your system and set up a Data Source Name (DSN) using the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
Next, modify the connStr variable with the appropriate connection string for your SQLite database. Replace "C:\Path\to\your\Database.sqlite" with the actual path to your SQLite database file. Also, replace "TableName" with the actual name of the table or query you want to retrieve data from. Inside the loop, you can access specific field values by replacing "FieldName" with the actual field name in the table.
When you run this code, it will establish a connection to the SQLite database using ADO and the SQLite ODBC driver, execute the SQL query, loop through the recordset, read the data from the specified field, and display it in a message box.
