CHAPTER 12 – Databases OMRON
Page 200 Release 2.0
♦ Add a Recordset to the connection and select the Named Range (which will appear in the list of
available tables, if the connection is live) as the Table name. Records in this table can now be
added or modified as with any other database table (Note: If records are added to this type of
table the Named Range will increase in size accordingly automatically).
The example below demonstrates a valid range selection named: "CustomerInvoice" (note the name
displayed just above column A):
Note: The first row of the range is assumed to contain the Column Headings.
Note: When updating files the column headings cannot contain numbers or spaces, for
example "Column1" or "Invoice Total" is invalid. Also some words are reserved
and can not be used, for example a column heading of "Number" will cause an
error. These restrictions do not apply when only reading these files.
Note: Make sure that all the cells in a column are of the same data type. The Excel
ODBC driver cannot correctly interpret which data type the column should be if a
column is not of the same type, or you have types mixed between "text" and
"general".
Note: This type of querying and updating information in an Excel Spreadsheet does not
support multi-user concurrent access.
