'recordset and connection variables
Dim Cnxn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rstTest As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strCnxn As String
Dim strSQL As String

' Open a connection
Set Cnxn = New ADODB.Connection
strCnxn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=(local); Initial
Catalog=test_db;user id = 'sa';password='test_pwd'"

Cnxn.Open strCnxn

Set rstTest = New ADODB.Recordset
strSQL = "sys__event_tracker"
rstTest.Open strSQL, strCnxn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable


rstTest.AddNew
rstTest!event_category = "test message"

Hello Stephen,

The conversion would not be that hard to do but the question I would have
is why?

In DTS you have a Connection type for Access and a Connection type for SQL
Server. These should serve you perfectly well unless you have some overwhelming
requirements of the insert.
