First a little Nerd joke.
"There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't."
Anyway,
Have had a slight issue this morning trying to load a crosstab query into a recordset to append to an excel sheet - When does this not bother me at 6am on a Sunday!!
Anyway the issue is in trying to transfer the information to a spreadsheet with the column heads, obviously it is quite easy to transfer the data but the column heads are trickier as with a cross tab query they could be different each time. anyway I managed to sort out a code snip which will populate the column headings.
Private Sub TransferCrossTab()
Dim myQdef As QueryDef
Dim rsReport As Recordset
Dim appXl As Excel.Application
Dim appxlWB As Excel.Workbook
Dim appXlWS As Excel.Worksheet
Dim lngColNbr As Long
Dim xlc As Object
Set myQdef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qry_monthlyquery_agb") 'open crosstab query
Set appXl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set appxlWB = appXl.Workbooks.Open(strfilepath, , False)
'open spreadsheet "Here Stored as global variable"
Set appXlWS = appxlWB.Sheets("Source_Data")
Set xlStart = appXlWS.Range("B1")
appXlWS.Range("B1:AY453").ClearContents 'Clear Contents from Spreadsheet
For lngcolNbr = 0 To rsReport.Fields.Count - 1
xlStart.Offset(0, lngcolnbr).Value = rsReport.Fields(lngcolnbr).Name 'For Each Field in Recordset provide column heading
Next lngcolnbr
Set xlc = xlc.Offset(1, 0)
appXlWS.Range("B2").CopyFromRecordset rsReport 'Add Recordset Data
End Sub
Hope this makes sense, Haven't really got time to go over it at present but if this sounds like it may help you feel free to get in touch.
