[AccessD] Export to Excel

How about exporting the data to one spreadsheet and link the data from that
spreadsheet in the same workbook to the preformatted report in another
spreadsheet in the workbook.  Then create a macro attached to a button that
would send the report spreadsheet as an attachment.

Charles -

I wish it were that easy.  When this whole thing began, I recommended that
we send it as a .pdf file.

I was told there are some circumstances where the client needs to manipulate
the data after they receive it, and they prefer Excel when doing the
manipulating.

 

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

 

If you want to send the report instead of the data, then don't  use Excel.
Send the report as either .pdf or .snp.

The point of this process is to eliminate all user interaction with the
formatting of the report.

The user clicks a button, which automatically exports the formatted report
to Excel.  Then, the report is emailed to the appropriate client.

How can I only export the record source, without having the user interact
with Excel to format the data?  Have a pre-designed report template?

Mark,

 

Instead of trying to export the report, export the report's record source.

We are having an issue with exporting data from an Access report to an Excel
spreadsheet.

It seems that whenever there are calculated fields such as report totals,
the data doesn't display properly after exporting.

Also, some fields are moved way to the right, while others are way left.

Does anyone know of 3rd party software that will export an Access report to
Excel as clean as possible?

 

Thanks,
