Access export to Excel template with merged cells

C

clk

Hello. I have an Excel template where I need to export data from an
Access database (version 2003). I have the following code
working .... somewhat. There are 294 records to export but when it
gets to Excel only 98 records are visible. I suspect it has to do
with the fact that there are merged cells in the template I am
exporting to. When arrowing down through the spreadsheet cells go
from B12 (B12 is B12, B13 and B14 merged together) to B15 to B18,
etc. I tried to figure out if there was a way to adjust the code to
compensate for the merged rows. Any help would be appreciated.

I think you are right that the merged cells are the problem. I think you
should ask this in and excel group for more info on how to do the import and
avoid the problem.
