[AccessD] TransferSpreasheet Problem

Lambert,

I've never had an issue with a runtime error when changing the sql of an
existing query, but still I like your idea of creating a temporary query
and deleting it when done, especially when the SQL changes as in this
situation.

Thanks.

Rusty

Rusty's solution leaves you with a query hanging around, which might
cause a runtime error next time you run the process. Here is another way
which creates a query on the fly in one line, exports it and the gets
rid of the temporary query.


Dim strSQL As String
Dim qd As QueryDef
strSQL = "Select * FROM tblAuditTrail" ' plus you can add all the filter
statements you need here

CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef "zTemp", strSQL DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet
acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "zTemp",  strFrontEndPath &
"ExportedAuditTrail", True DoCmd.DeleteObject acQuery, "zTemp"

Dear List:

In the line:

    DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, strSQL,
strFrontEndPath & "ExportedAuditTrail", True


strSQL = "Select * FROM tblAuditTrail" where tblAuditTrail is a linked
table.

I get an error message The Microsoft Jet Database engine could not find
the object 'Select * FROM tblAuditTrail'.  

Can you not use a SQL statement as the query for export?

I can't put this into a query because the user can filter on several
fields so I build those filters into the SQL statement using
WHERE...AND...AND...etc.
