Is it possible to copy an Excel Macro into Access? I would assume the VBA code is the same?
In access, I already have some code to export info from a continuous form by calling a public function.
I got this code from another post. But it doesnt do everything I would want it to do, like inserting 3 rows above the data, writing a Report name date, etc here and then adding page headers/footers and margins. So I created a macro in Excel to finish the job. Code below.
Apparantly I cant just paste it within the top code, unless I misplaced it.
Thanks in advance
In access, I already have some code to export info from a continuous form by calling a public function.
Code:
Public Function Send2Excel(frm As Form, Optional strSheetName As String)
' frm is the name of the form you want to send to Excel
' strSheetName is the name of the sheet you want to name it to
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim ApXL As Object
Dim xlWBk As Object
Dim xlWSh As Object
Dim intCount As Integer
Const xlCenter As Long = -4108
Const xlBottom As Long = -4107
On Error GoTo err_handler
Set rst = frm.RecordsetClone
Set ApXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlWBk = ApXL.Workbooks.Add
ApXL.Visible = True
Set xlWSh = xlWBk.Worksheets("Sheet1")
If Len(strSheetName) > 0 Then
xlWSh.Name = Left(strSheetName, 34)
End If
xlWSh.Range("A1").Select
Do Until intCount = rst.Fields.Count
ApXL.ActiveCell = rst.Fields(intCount).Name
ApXL.ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
intCount = intCount + 1
Loop
rst.MoveFirst
xlWSh.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset rst
xlWSh.Range("1:1").Select
