[AccessD] Copy recordset to excel spreadsheet

Thanks for the code example. I am going to keep it.
Turns out the problem was I had to reregister DAO 3.6

Hi Chester,

I do a lot of exporting to Excel and have for quite a while.  I am not sure
why, but maybe because of errors like you are seeing, I prefer to loop
through the recordset and export as I go.  Below is the basic code I use.
Make sure Tools > References include the Excel library

Subject: [AccessD] Copy recordset to excel spreadsheet

I am using the following code to copy a recordset to an excel spreadsheet.
Just to be safe I check for missing references and found none.It generates
an error
Run time error 430
Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface.
What might I be doing wrong?

Function CopytoSpreadsheet()

Dim objXL As Object
Dim xlWB As Object
Dim xlWS As Object
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim fld As Field

Dim strExcelFile As String


Set objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objXL.Visible = True
Set xlWB = objXL.Workbooks.Add
Set xlWS = xlWB.Worksheets(1)
xlWS.Name = "Worksheet1"

Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tbl DirectoryName")

rst.MoveFirst
xlWS.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset rst

xlWB.SaveAs "C:\files\Excel\SSTest.xls"
rst.Close

Set rst = Nothing

End Function
