[AccessD] TransferSpreasheet Problem

Even better.  I had to create a query in the query container
(qryTorayExport) before it would work.  But running it repeatedly didn't
cause any trouble.

Thanks

Rocky

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.
