isn’t that much interaction on the user’s part. They have to

the long way around the farm. I did a lot of movement of data between
Access and Excel down in Mexico for an app where the users used Excel Analysis
on the resulting data. What we did is to build queries that got the data
that was desired, then exported that data directly into the spreadsheet.
You can then record a macro on the spreadsheet as you format the data the way
you want it to run. Save and name the macro. Now, whenever you need
to run this process, Copy a "template" spreadsheet that has
this macro in it to a new name, export the data into the new
spreadsheet, then run the macro from Access to format the data the way you
want to see it.</span></font></p>
