When exporting files from Access to Excel - those files are output using the
Windows XP default system font which is MS Serif - how/where do you change
this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeff,

I doubt Access is using any font when exporting data. It's probably the
default font used in Excel for the type of file you're importing.

Nope, I have Excel set with default of times new roman and every export is
MS Serif

Jeff,

I just exported an access file to an XLS and imported it into Excel and
it didn't change the default font. So I can't replicate your problem.


Placing your sig at the top with a delimiter (the dash dash space "-- ")
wipes out all of the previous quote. The proper place for a delimiter
is at the bottom, or not at all, so the quoted material remains in
replies. Note I am not criticizing your posting style, only the usage
of the delimiter.

Are you quite sure there is a font called Tacoma?

witan,
On a *normal* system it would be named Tahoma.

I changed it to a common font so most people would recognize it, however I
incorrectly named it Tacoma instead of Tahoma. Just replace the font name
with one that you want, like Calibri or Arial or whatever.
