Creating a Stored Procedure
SUMMARY
This article shows you how to create a stored procedure in the Visual Basic Environment and, if needed, how to add a parameter to the existing stored procedure.

NOTE: Native stored procedures are new in Microsoft access 2000. You cannot create and run stored procedures through the user interface. You must use the Visual Basic Environment with ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) or the Database Definition Language (DDL).

Creating a Stored Procedure
The following steps show you how to create a stored procedure with a parameter and how to run it in the Visual Basic Environment:
In the sample database Northwind.mdb, create a new module called TestStoredProc.
On the Tools menu, click References. In the list of available references, click to select (check) Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library.
Type the following in the new module:
Public Function CreateProc()

   Dim strProc As String

   strProc = "Create Procedure qryCustByCity " & _
             "(prmCity varchar) as " & _
             "select * from Customers where City = prmCity"

   CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strProc

End Function
                   
In the Immediate window, type the following and press ENTER:
?CreateProc
                   
Steps 1 though 4 create a stored procedure called strProc, which queries for records whose city matches the parameter, prmCity. The remaining steps involve creating code that runs strProc and passes a parameter.

Return to the module that you created in step 1.
Type the following code:
Public Function RSFromParameterQuery(strCity As String)

   Dim prm As ADODB.Parameter
   Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
   Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset

   Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
   Set cmd.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection

   cmd.CommandText = "qryCustByCity"
   cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc

   Set prm = cmd.CreateParameter("prmCity", adVarChar, _
             adParamInput, Len(strCity))

   prm.Value = strCity

   cmd.Parameters.Append prm

   Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
   rst.Open cmd

   Do Until rst.EOF
      Debug.Print rst(0), rst(1), rst(2)
      rst.MoveNext
   Loop

End Function
                   
In the Immediate window, type the following and press ENTER:
?RSFromParameterQuery("London")
                   
In the Immediate window, you should see a listing of the customers in London.
