The class QueryTable represents a worksheet table built from data returned from an external data source, such as a SQL server or a Microsoft Access database.

The classes ListObject and Range. give access to class QueryTable


Dim qrytbl as QueryTable
Set qrytbl = ActiveCell.QueryTable

For Each

Here is an example of processing the QueryTable items in a collection. 


Dim qrytbl As QueryTable
For Each qrytbl In Application.QueryTables
	
Next qrytbl
