I think that the source code may be a better answer to your questions,
so this is basically what I'm doing:

---
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim codes() As Long
Dim array1() As Double
Dim array2() As Double
Dim array3() As Double
.
.
.
.
Dim array20() As Double
Dim size As Long

' The arrays have always the same size (868): Here they are resized and
filled with data
.
.
.

' Then I open the connection and do the updates

conn.Open "DSN=mydb;uid=username;pwd=mypassword"

For I = 0 To size - 1
  sql = "update mytable set value1 = " & array1(I) & ", value2 = " &
array2(I) & _
        ", value3 = " & array3(I) & ... & ", value20 = " & array20(I) &
-
        " where code = " & codes(I)
  conn.Execute(sql)
Next I
