Want Query to Open an Excel Spreadsheet
- Thread starter gaRed
- Start date
Hi,
This code will do it for you.
Design a new module (or manipulate this with Private Subs instead of Functions and place in your form) and copy/paste this into it. Change qryTestPlease to your query or table that you are trying to export. And change C:\Testplease.xls to your spreadsheet that you export to and that you want to open.
Function SpreadSheet()
Dim gsSpreadSheet As String
Dim successful
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "qryTestPlease", "C:\testplease.xls", True, ""
gsSpreadSheet = "C:\testplease.xls"
successful = Shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\excel.exe " & _
Chr$(34) & gsSpreadSheet & Chr(34), vbMaximizedFocus)
End Function
Save it as mdlSpreadSheet (or whatever)... Now just call the function whenever you want it to run.

Hey,
There's no report that opens up with this code. Just a spreadsheet. You'll notice that you have to edit the code to change the paths so they match your comp's specs. Ie: rename the Xls paths, etc.
You can either make a module and copy/paste that in there with the Function heading. Or you can create a button, and put the code behind the button (but you don't want to copy.paste the Function () and End Function ... Access should create Private Sub () and End Sub). IF you need any more help, just post.
