Using this Access VBA Macro

I wrote this Access VBA Macro for a friend to export an Access table or query to a spreadsheet; it might come in handy. ;-]

Access VBA Macro Example Code

Sub ExportTableOrQueryToExcel()

Const strTitle = "This is my worksheet title"
Const strTableOrQuery = "Query1"

' define the path to the output file
Dim strPath As String
strPath = "C:\TestFile " & _
Year(Now) & Right("0" & _
Month(Now), 2) & Right("0" & _
Day(Now), 2) & ".xls"

' create and open an Excel workbook
Dim objXL As Object
Set objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objXL.WorkBooks.Add
objXL.Worksheets(1).Name = strTitle
objXL.Visible = False

' delete the extra worksheets
Dim intX As Integer
If objXL.Worksheets.Count > 1 Then
For intX = 2 To objXL.Worksheets.Count
objXL.Worksheets(2).Delete
Next
End If

' open the database
Dim objDB As DAO.Database
Dim objRS As DAO.Recordset
Dim objField As DAO.Field
Set objDB = CurrentDb

' open the query/table
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [" & strTableOrQuery & "]"
Set objRS = objDB.OpenRecordset(strSQL)

Dim lngRow As Long
Dim lngCol As Long

If Not objRS.EOF Then

lngRow = 1: lngCol = 1

For Each objField In objRS.Fields
objXL.Worksheets(1).Cells(lngRow, lngCol).Value = objField.Name
lngCol = lngCol + 1
Next

lngRow = lngRow + 1

' loop through the table records
Do While Not objRS.EOF
lngCol = 1
For Each objField In objRS.Fields
objXL.Worksheets(1).Cells(lngRow, lngCol).Value = objField.Value
lngCol = lngCol + 1
Next
lngRow = lngRow + 1
objRS.MoveNext
Loop

End If

objXL.DisplayAlerts = False
objXL.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strPath, 46
objXL.ActiveWorkbook.Close
