Modules & VBA :: Transfer Spreadsheet Won't Work If Excel Is Already Open
Sep 17, 2013
I am extremely new to writing code, but was able to successfully write code that transfers the data in my form to and excel spreadsheet template and saves it with a different name. The code works perfect and without issue as long as Excel is not running. However if Excel is already open the template remains blank and a warning message appears saying that the form is locked for editing. Below is the code I used.
Private Sub ExcelClear_Click()
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlwrkBk As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
[Code] .....

From Here I want it to open the ".csv" that I chose (for some reason it doesn't now), Import to a table (I can do this part). Then export to the same location on the server with a different file name of my choosing and covert to .xlsx.
Dim fdlg As FileDialog: Set fdlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
Do
With fdlg
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Title = "Select File to Import"
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*", 1
[Code] ....

I just want to run a series of DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet commands to export several queries to one Excel Workbook with seperate sheet names for each query.
However my problem is I want this to be a new instance of Excel that the user will then SaveAs after it is complete. I don't want to save it to a specific path first because the Db is on a shared drive and My Documents will have a different path for each user based on their user name. (corporate environment)
There must be some way to just have it open a new workbook without saving isn't there??

I'm working with Access 2010 and am trying to use the transferspreadsheet command to output data in a query to an Excel 2010 format file. Here is the line of code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "q_calldetails_tmp", "c: emp estoutput.xlsx"
It works fine and produces the output file but when I try and open it with Excel I get an error saying the format is incorrect. If I change the extension to .xls it opens with no problem but I need it to be an Excel 2010 format with correct extension.

For Each cell In BookToImport.Sheets(1).Rows(1).Cells
cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value)
Next cell
BookToImport.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Rows(1).Replace ".", "_"
End Function

I'd like to thank everyone for all the help with a long project that is nearing completion.
I have a query by form where I would like there to be a button that the user could push that would take the values from the query that are in the subform and open them up as an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis. There is a function called analyze it with Excel in the Tools/Office options menu but it only works for the main form. I don't get all the values.
Is there some way I can open the subform as an Excel file or set the code and SQL string that it is based on to values for an Excel sheet?
Thanks

Everyday I have to generate a report in excel format and I need it to be added to ms access database. I was hoping to do this on a click of a button. Basically, since i have a new data everyday it should be added to the table.

I am using Access 2010 . I need to format cells inside the Excel spreadsheet
Here is my code:
Dim ApXL As Object
Dim xlWBk As Object
Dim xlWSh As Object
Dim intColumn As Long
Set ApXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
[Code] .....
The code "With xlWSh.Selection" returns a run-time error 438 - Object does not support this property or method
When coding, when entering a "bang" ("."), Access normally returns the next piece of code. The code above does not! How to I correct this?
I do have a reference to Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object library....

I have a database scheduled to run nightly. In this database I have a macro that runs a macro. I want one of the arguments to export "T_Update_Log" from the database to an excel file as part of it's nightly macro. When I use "Transfer Spreadsheet" in my macro, it creates a new worksheet in my excel file each night (for example: T_Update_Log1, T_Update_Log2, etc) Instead, I want it to overwrite existing one.
I have also tried "Export" command, but that throws a prompt asking if I want to overwrite the existing excel file. I cannot have any message prompts during my nightly task or else it will stop the whole process. Setting the Warnings to No does not stop this particular message prompt.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

This problem seems crazy to me.......
If I create a macro with a single entry consisting of Transferspreadsheet from a single Access table to Excel it exports perfectly. When I call Transferspreadsheet from VBA code it moves some of the data and puts them into seemingly random Excel spreadsheet columns why is this?
This issue first came about when we had to export a table with more than 65,000 records in and so I export using a table name "Sheet1" , "Sheet2" as needed but surely the table name that it comes from makes no odds?
Any help appreciated!
Regards,
Neil

I am using
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, , qName, wFilepath, True
to export a query to a spreadsheet. I am using this method as it seems to solve the problem of memo fields being truncated.
It seems however that using this method if the spreadsheet file already exists (and is of a differant structure) nothing happens and no error is thrown.
Is this correct? - Thanks Paul

I am trying to format a spreadsheet to import into a Table. To do this I need to delete the top 8 rows and then the 4 rows below the data I need, both areas contain header data. The 4 rows below the data I need are blank but formatted oddly and it is causing issues during import.
Code:
Sub ExcelFormat()
Dim excelApp As Object
Set excelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
excelApp.worbooks.Open ("Z:DataTest.xlsx")
End Sub

Hi.
I developed a db on a local verison of Access 2003 (saved in Access 2000 format). It works great thanks to much help from this forum.
I recently moved the db to a server and tested how it worked when using Access 2000 on a citrix platform. This is important since the users of the db will be using this accursed platform. A few things (vba functions) broke but I deleted the affected code. However, one thing 'broke' that I can't eliminate.
When I click a button on one form I have a transfer spreadsheet command run to export the output of a query to a particular xls file/location. However, in the citrix environment I get an error message "Formats that enable export as html, xls, or rtf are missing from the windows registry".
I'm guessing this has something to do with the citrix server setup. Is there anything I can do on my end to avoid this problem or, as I fear, am I stuffed?
Cheers,
Craig

I've been trying to work up a where clause that is generated by a button click event on a report. The workflow that i'm trying to obtain is as follows:
1) A report is run to determine the remaining work orders that need to be processed.
2) A button that is placed on that report is to be clicked, taking the user to the form associated with that work order, so it can be processed.
What i've been able to do so far is capture the unique ID for the work order and then print that in a message box. I can then open the form.
What i haven't been able to accomplish thus far is to open the form to the correct work order.
Things I've tried : I started trying to use the macro with the search for record option and using the where clause. Not successful. I am a little more comfortable in using vba so i switched to that pretty quickly.
Code:
Private Sub btnJobEntry_Click()
'GOAL: open the work order form to the correct entry
'METHOD: store the uniqueID to a variable, then use that in the open command's where clause
Dim strJobID As String
'store the unique ID in the variable
[Code] ....
I've put the strJobID variable in both the filter and where clause sections of the DoCmd but it just opens the form to the first entry. I'm fairly confident i'm not applying the filter/where clause correctly by using the incorrect syntax.

Is there a command that I can use to export a spreadsheet to Excel...
I could use docmd.transferspreadsheet
however that would also mean i would need an input window where users would need to manually put in the location they wish to save to...
Instead, could i not get a "SaveAs" command window or a file browser at least for them to search that way?
Alternatively, If it was possible to use VBA to pop up the "Export - Excel Spreadsheet" window, that would be just as good.

I have some code that opens and populates an Excel spreadsheets then does a save as to a specific directory and also outputs a PDF. This code is working with one small problem, I am leaving the first instance of Excel open and can't figure out where I should put the code for it to quit. Here is my code:
Code:
' This code creates a recordset based on the current reservation in order to gather data on
' a specific reservation, to output to a payment schedule excel spreadsheet which calculates
' Payment dates and amounts for specific reservations
' Declare variables for recordset
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
[Code] ....
The instance that I need to close is shown in red.

I want to delete an excel file from within access vba. Problem is that if the file is open, it obviously cannot be deleted. so I need to check to see if that specific excel workbook is open and if it is, I want to close it before I can delete it.
All of the answers here involve creating an excel object and opening it before closing it. If I do that all that happens is a second instance of the workbook opens then closes leaving the originally open workbook still open.
Sub xx()
Dim XLapp As New Excel.Application
Dim ObjXL As Excel.Workbook
Set ObjXL = XLapp.Workbooks.Open("C:dropboxexcelimport.xlsx ")
ObjXL.Application.Visible = True
[Code] .....
The above code demonstrates my problem, if the import.xlsx file is already open then the code just opens another instance of this workbook and then closes it again leaving the original workbook open and as such cannot be deleted.

I would like to open an Excel workbook from MS Access and clear cell contents, or just delete some records in a specific worksheet.
If you open the test workbook, cell contents in RAW need to be deleted by calling from Access.
I have produced some code but it's partially working.
Code:
Sub TestFileOpened()
' Test to see if the file is open.
If IsFileOpen("test.xls") Then
' Display a message stating the file in use.
MsgBox "File already in use!"
[Code] ....
If you put this in a standard module in access, the function works, but the part that doesn't work is where it says "activesheet". It somehow tries to recognize it as a variable, but it's not going to be a variable.

Hey all,
Just a quick question to see if something is possible or not.
Basically i have a form which the users record errors which have happened with deliveries of our product and have to select the reason why this happened. What i have been asked to do is when the users are entering the reason 'incorrect address', they want to be able to click on a button and everything which they have entered for that record are appended to an excel spreadsheet. The are currently entering it twice...once in my database and once in a spreadsheet and they just want to reduce their workload.
This transfer of data is only needed when that specific reason is chosen from my combo box, no other reason. I don't have much knowledge of Excel, i was just wondering if this type of thing wa possible and if anyone could put me in the right direction. I have had a search for my problem, but havn't found anything similar to my pro. yet.

Hello - just joined today. I hope to be of some help to other users, but am kind of a newbie.
I have an excel ss that I regularly receive which needs to go into my access DB. I set up a macro with transferspreadsheet and that works, except for one problem. I have one field which is designed as text but has data that looks like numbers as well as data that looks like text. When I run the macro, the number-like data doesn't import as text (23602012345 imports as 2.3602e+010). FYI the field in access is already defined as text. Each time I import a ss, I am appending to the existing data in the table
I have tried formatting the excel column as text with no luck. If I remove the data that truly is text in that column (ABC1287567) and leave just the 236* data, and then format the excel column as text, it seems to work fine. It just doesn't like the mixing of the data...at least it seems to me.
Any ideas to avoid manual manipulation of my excel ss before running the macro would be very helpful.
Thanks much in advance!
