Hello,

I'm a complete beginner with SQL so this is probably totally trivial.

I have an excel file I want to read certain column entries for.

First I bind the column of interest:

SQLBindCol (StmtHndl, 3, SQL_F_CHAR, ELECTRICITY, f90SQL_NULL_PTR, iRet)

Then I use a fetch command to recover the entry for each row

SQLFetch(StmtHndl,iRet)

This reults in the following error: 22002 Indicator variable required but not supplied on column number 3 (ELECTRICITY).

I have been banging my head off this particular brick wall for the last 4 days. I have absolutely no problem interfacing with a database file (.mdb), but for some reason Excel is a problem. Am I missing something?

TT
