[AccessD] Excel Macro Automation from within Access

Thanks Jim.
I actually have the VBA from the Excel macro already created.  I would
definitely appreciate any code reference you have to offer that will run
the macro from within the Access code.  

Thanks again,

Mark,

You can output the formatted Excel file from Access and let Excel write
the formatting VBA for you. Start Excel and turn on macro recording,
then format the sheet your way. When finished stop recording and save.
Open the macros menu item, copy the code from your macro, and paste into
an Access module. Open your query as a recordset and loop through the
rows setting your excel field to the rs field. I'll email an example to
you if you like.
