[AccessD] Transfer Spreadsheet

[Rocky Smolin]

Might be something wrong with your appends to make the file name.

I suggest you make the file name in a string variable
strFileName = "C:\A-Best Systems\TimeOutput " & strDateToday & " PayPeriod "
& strJobPeriod & ".xlsx"

Then take a look at it
MsgBox "*: & strFileName & "*"

Maybe you'll see something there that the OS doesn't like.  Something that
violates the file naming conventions, like one of a forbidden character for
file names.

Maybe it's in strDateToday. File name can't have |,?,:,*,",>,<,\,or /.

To be clear the method works, just not able to create a new excel file......

This Works as long as I have the excel file in the folder:
 'DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 10, "tblTimeCard", "C:\A-Best
Systems\TimeOutput.xlsx", True

None of these will work. I guess because the file does not exist:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "qryOutputOldLargeReorderDays", acFormatXLSX,
"C:\A-Best Systems\TimeOutput " & strDateToday & " PayPeriod " &
strJobPeriod & ".xlsx"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 10, "qryOutputOldLargeReorderDays",
"C:\A-Best Systems\TimeOutput " & _
    strDateToday & " PayPeriod " & strJobPeriod & ".xlsx", True

Any chance you can post the relevant code segment? 

You should be able to do this seamlessly so curious to see what is going on.

Cheers

I am using the transfer spreadsheet method and am able to successfully
export my data.
What would be a bonus is for me to create a new excel file each time with a
unique file name.
When I include such vba code, I get an error "Not a valid file name".
I want to NOT use my existing "template" excel file.
Maybe not possible with this method ??

TIA

Bob
