Excel 2003 VBA Write to SQL Server 2000 ADO - sql-server

Question

We are working on changing an existing excel form to deliver a record to our SLQ server.
We have been scuccessful with code that scrubs captures and writes the data to the server using a DSN and ODBC.
scn = dsn=ODBC123
Our target users (of wich there are many) are using excel 2003 and an ODBC connection on each terminal is not practical.
This is my first venture into using ADODB.
I was tripping my badSQL message but do not get an error from the server, until I added the UID and Pass.
Now I am getting
Run-time error '-2147467559(80004005)':
Automation error
Unspecified Error
Would one of you fine ladies and/or gentlemen take a look and provide some guidence?
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim ssql As String
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Const scn As String = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;" & _
"Persist Security Info=False;" & _
"Initial Catalog="DB on Server";" & _
"Data Source="Server Name" & _
"User ID=Form;Password=nope;"
ssql = "sql statment that writes a record to a table using info in the excel form," & _
" writen in vb that has worked through an odbc"
With cn
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.Open scn
.CommandTimeout = 0
Set rst = .Execute(ssql)
End With
On Error GoTo badsql:
rs.Open ssql, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
On Error GoTo badsql:
rs.Close
cn.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set cn = Nothing
MsgBox ("This record was updated in the database and documented for" & _
" processing. Please close this workbook.")
badsql:
MsgBox ("This record was not processed please resubmit.")
Exit Sub'

Answer 1

We seem to have both rst and rs as Recordset objects. I don't see a declaration for rst in the supplied code.
In any case, the query string in ssql is run twice. Once when it gets executed and the results (if any) returned into rst. The other time when rs is opened.
You probably only want to run the query string once and, as it seems to be an INSERT-type query, you probably want to use cn.Execute rather than rs.Open
