How to get data from database using macro and present in table box?

Hi all, 

Recently i met a requirement and need to get data dynamically from database. Generally speaking we defined 2 list box , one for choosing the table name , the other one for selecting the column name need. Then we created a button label as 'Get Data' . When the button clicked , a table box would present the data dynamically.  That's kind of like the 'select  COL_NAME1,COL_NAME2 ...FROM TABL_NAME' , personally i think. Due to the forbidden for user to reload when published, i 'm considering to write a macro to pull data from database using dynamic sql. Now I wrote a section of vbscript and it works when testing in windows debuger . But it has problem when moving to QLikview. Could you please help to see what 's the problem?  Many Thanks !!!!

objCommand.CommandText = "SELECT  ShipperID, CompanyName as Shippers FROM Shippers"

objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection

objRecordSet.CursorLocation = 3
