[AccessD] Reports to Excel

When I was exporting data to a range, and the rows/columns varied, I looked
at the source recordset which can tell me the rowcount and (using dao
anyway) the number of fields in the fields collection of the recordset
object which is the width.  I then built the range on-the-fly using a
starting position and the row/columns info.

Thanks Jim and John,

I used...
".Columns.Borders.Color = vbBlack"
...and this seemed to do the trick...

The export will have a different number of columns and rows each time.  The
above method puts a border around every cell in the worksheet...not just the
data.

If I could isolate just the cells with data...it might look better...but
this will get me by.

The 'macro recording' gave me a longer approach...but it was dependant on a
range...which I'm not sure how to get.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte
