If I'm not mistaken, when using .copyrecordset to a formatted spreadsheet your formatting will be killed. I'm using VBA formatting on the spot for everything because my spreadsheets are not straigth forward tables-type sheets. But is does slow down the building of the spreadsheet. But if it's only colomn based formatting, it will probably not matter that much in speed.

Setting Default Formatting InExcel I use a template with a worksheet formatted the way I need. After opening the template in code I create as many sheets as needed copying the preformatted sheet. This is better then slugging it out in vba since the inevitable tweaks to the format can be handled by simply changing the template.

Setting Default Formatting In Excel Hi: I have a fairly complex Access to Excel automation project, and having conquered my named ranges issue, I'm wondering about the best way to set default formatting for columns (percentages, decimals, conditional formats). The application dynamically creates worksheets in the Excel workbook (sometimes it has 5 worksheets, sometimes more) from data stored in Access. The data will always be in the same columns, (EX: column M is percent, Column N is 2 decimals, etc.); Can I have Excel set defaults for these columns before exporting/creating the data, or is it better to just do this in VBA? Thanks in advance.
