Export To Excel Button Is Always Disabled (Access 2007)
Mar 12, 2012
I notice that, no matter the context, the shortcut menu button to export to Excel is always disabled. The Export drop down button is enabled, but it only shows PDF and XPS as target formats. However there is no problem in exporting to Excel from tables, queries or even reports using the ribbon tools. I want users to be able to export selected reports to Excel but I don't want to give them full access to the ribbon. I'm using Access 2007 SP3.
Update: a further curiousity. If the database is in accdb format, I can use print preview, right-click on the preview, then select Export...>Excel and that works. But the Export option isn''t available after conversion to accde format.

how to export Access' many-to-many relationships in excel.
My database is a Project portfolio management tool. One project has many different fields, some of which can only be single values (one-to-one, easy to export to excel) and many others are multiple values fields, built as many-to-many relations (through junction tables).
One usage that was not specified at database creation time was the ability to export the portfolio to excel, so non-access-savvy users can browse, filter, sort and play with the portfolio however they want.
If I build a report, it will contain as many sub-reports as there are junction tables, rendering it un-exportable to excel. A Form would have to be continuous, barring the use of sub-forms for the m2m relations.
Building a query will generate many lines per project (as many as the most populous multiple field), making the excel sheet nearly unusable (in my users opinion, and here, the client's the king).
The best route I have been exploring so far involves "transforming" the multiple fields, so a the different "rows" become additional "columns".

I have an access query with around 10 columns. One of the columns is city. There are total of 5 unique cities. I need a macro for the button in the access report that will export the data from the access query to the ONE excel workbook in such a way that each city filtered data from access is exported to city name worksheet. So Excel file would have in total of 5 worksheets with the relevant city data.

On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce
2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format.
3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ...
4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help:
"ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
I have turned off DEP.
How can I get MS Access 2007 to import Excel?
Thanks
Ken

Recently I set up a button to export a report automatically to Excel using the following code: DoCmd.outputTo acOutput Report, "Report1", acFormat.xls, "J:Insurance DeptReport1.xls", True.This works great, however I was wondering 2 things:
1. How do you set up to transfer multiple reports using the same button. EG I have reports named Report2, Report3, etc how do I add these to the code to export as well?
2. Is it possible to have them transfer to the one file but different sheets. EG Report1 would go to sheet1, Report2 to sheet 2, report3 to sheet 3 and so on?

I am using Excel and Access 2010.
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?

Hi
I am having trouble trying to import (manually) Excel 2007 spreadsheets into an Access 97 database on Windows XP.
I have an Excel 2007 workbook saved as .xlsx. When I try to import it by changing the "files of type" drop down list to "Excel" and typing in the file name of the 2007 file with the .xlsx file extension I get an error message
“The Wizard is unable to access information in the file ‘Filename’. Please check that that the file exists and is in the correct format.
I have changed the registry to allow .xlsx files to be imported, but still get the error.
I have changed the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftJet3.5Engi nesTextDisabledExtensions
To include .xlsx
Any ideas you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I would like to export a access report to excel. All rows and columns exported correctly except from text fields (missing or change to a strange number). I've also think about to write a vb script to export the result recordset of the report to the excel. But the report is a report of Sales which containing a grand total amount of the group of records. Is there a way to write a script to achieve this (the grand total amount is not include in the recordset)?
Thanks!

Good morning all,
First, I know there have been a lot of posts on this topic already, and I've printed out several of them to try to help me solve my problem. However, I'm having a problem getting mine to work.
Here's what I want to do, I am trying to export four different queries into one workbook, separate worksheets in Excel. For example, I have qryControl, qryLocal, qryPar and qryNasco. I want to export qryControl into the CONTROL worksheet in General Ledger.xls, qryLocal into the LOCAL worksheet in General Ledger.xls, and so on and so forth. Can this be done?
I started a practice form and added a command button based on some of the information I read before, just to see if I can get a query to transfer period and I ran into some problems. Here is the code I used:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "qryWorldWideClaims", "C: emp.xls", True
'Create Excel Instance
Dim xlObj As Object
Set xlObj = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
'Open the template file
xlObj.workbooks.Open "C:mytemplatefile.xls"
'Save the template file with another name
xlObj.activeworkbook.savesas "C:mynewfile.xls"
'Open the temp file we exported from Access
xlObj.workbooks.Open "C: emp.xls"
'Select and copy all the data
xlObj.activeworkbook.cells.select
xlObj.activeworkbook.selection.copy
'Re-activate the destination file
xlObj.workbooks("mynewfile.xls").Activate
'Select cell A1 on the first sheet
xlObj.activeworkbook.sheets(1).range("A1").select
'Paste the data
xlObj.activesheet.paste
'Save and close the file
xlObj.activeworkbook.Save
xlObj.activeworkbook.Close
'Close the other file - assumes no other Excel files are open
xlObj.activeworkbook.Save
xlObj.actoveworkbook.Close
xlObj.Quit
Set xlObj = Nothing
End Sub
I get an error message at the following line:
xlobj.activeworkbook.saveas "C:mynewfile.xls"
The error is:
'Runtime Error 438' Object doesn't support this property or method.
Can somebody please tell me if I can export to four different worksheets in the same workbook and also what I need to do to resolve my error.
Thanks every body!

Is it possible to have a control with the appearance of a button (clicked or unclicked) but with the characteristics of a checkbox (can only hold a true or false value)?
Like the toggle button in an option group (i.e. On/Yes/True shows as a sunken / depressed button, Off/No/False shows as a raised / unpressed button)
I can't use an option group because I only want one button - which will either be on or off / clicked or unclicked based on the value it's bound to (a Yes/No field)
Is this possible?

Folks,
I have a form with combo box (cboProjForRptSeltn ) and two command buttons. The combo box is filled with name of the reports. The combo box has two columns, column 1 is the name of the report and column 2 is the bound column which also is the link field (primary key) to limit the records.
When the user selects an item from cbo box and click the "Preview Risk Table" command button it will open a report in preview mode. The report's "Record Source" property is set to a UNION query (qryRprtRskTbl) which pull the records from several tables. The report's "Filter" property is set to the following criteria:
“qryRprtRskTbl.P.intProjectId=Forms!frmReportSelec tionBlrR1!cboProjForRptSeltn”
The above criteria is nothing but filter based on the value of the cbo box.
The click event procedure is as follows:
Private Sub cmdPreviewRprt_Click()
Dim strDocName As String
strDocName = "rptRskTblProjectWise"
DoCmd.OpenReport strDocName, acPreview, "qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1"
End Sub
"qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1" is another query out of the UNION query I mentioned above (qryRprtRskTbl). qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1 is pulling all the records from qryRprtRskTbl which meets the projectID field selected in cbo box, which is also the same as the "Filter" property value of the report as indicated above.
Everything works fine with cbo box and "Preview Risk Table" command button. It just pull all the records for the project selected under cbo box and display it as report in preview mode. Looks great!!
Here's my problem. I wanted to export the same report that was previewed by the user to Excel. For this I am using, another command button called “Export to Excel”. The click event of this procedure is as shown below:
Private Sub cmdExportToExcel_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim xlWorkbook As Excel.Workbook
Dim acQuery As QueryDef
Dim objRST As Recordset
Dim strQueryName As String
Dim strSearch As String
'Dim strSQL As String
'strSearch = Me![cboProjForRptSeltn]
strQueryName = "qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1"
'strQueryName = "qryEffcyAllProjtsForRprt"
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
Set xlWorkbook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
Set objRST = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strQueryName)
'Loop through the fileds collection and make each field name a column heading in Excel
Set xlSheet = xlWorkbook.Sheets(1)
For lvlColumn = 0 To objRST.Fields.Count - 1
xlSheet.Cells(1, lvlColumn + 1).Value = objRST.Fields(lvlColumn).Name
Next
'Change the font to bold for header row
xlSheet.Range(xlSheet.Cells(1, 1), xlSheet.Cells(1, objRST.Fields.Count)).Font.Bold = True
' I have some codes here for formatting Excel cells …
'Send data from Recordset out to Excel
With xlSheet
.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset objRST
.Name = Left(strQueryName, 31)
End With
Set xlSheet = Nothing
Set xlWorkbook = Nothing
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub
When I click the command button, it loads an instance of Excel and adds a workbook under the query name "qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1", but no data.
If I use another query say, "qryEffcyAllProjtsForRprt", which has no connection to cbo box value then it is cool, exports all the data to Excel without any problem.
I guess, you folks understand what I am trying to achieve here. Basically, I wanted to give the user some flexibility, either they can view the data as Access report or Export to Excel with same formatting feature and add more later if they want after exporting, as they see on Access report preview.
I have attached some of the query files I have described here. May be I can clarify more down the road, if necessary.
My bottom line question is: why the “qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1” query runs perfectly on Access reports but not when I want to run to export to Excel?
I don’t want to use the TransferSpreadsheet or outputTo method of docmd object, because I wanted to do some formatting before I export to excel.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Dear Access Experts:
I am using Access 2000. I have created a command button on a form that when pressed, it exports a file to Excel using the TransferSpreadsheet command. It exports names, degree type, graduation date starting in cell A1. It works well.
What I wish to do is this: Can I have this data exported starting in cell A5 instead of A1? AND in the export cell A1 will have "College", A2 will have "School" and A3 will have "Dean".
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Dion

So I have created this database for a lessons learnt system. Is it possible in Access 2007 to create a button that if pressed automatically sends an email out to someone? So my main form in the database is a split form which contains a search filter, which works well and also contains a button called add new lesson. This button is linked into another form and when pressed brings up this new form. In this form it has a save and close button. What I actually would like is when the form is updated and this save and close button is pressed, an email is sent to a "project head" who has to confirms the information before the data is saved into the database. Is this actually possible?
