Exporting Access Table to Excel spread sheet in code still shows headers (Access 2000)

[Rocky]

I would like to eliminate the Field name in the access table ,and not having
it show in the destination excel spread sheet. Setting the option to Either
True or False does not matter. It will not change.

Sorry for the small font. Not sure what's goiung on

Easiest way to do that is create a query based on your table, but exclude
that field from the query.

Thanks! but the field name shwoing is the field I am wanting to export to
excel to poulate a drop down list. I only want the value in the field not
the header. I want it to poulate numbers in Cell A in the spread sheet. It
does that perfectly, but the field name apears in cell A1. I always have to
go manually and delete the string name from the field.

Hi Mario,

You can't (as far as I know) do this with the standard export routines:
they always include a header row with the field names.

Instead, you can write and execute SQL queries that address particular
cells or ranges and omit the header row. Here are a couple of examples:

Append query inserting data starting at A1:
INSERT INTO
[Excel 8.0;HDR=No;Database=C:\Temp\T97\MyWorkbook.xls;].[Sheet1$A:A]
SELECT TheField
FROM MyTable
;


Update query writing a value into a single cell:

UPDATE
[Excel 8.0;HDR=NO;Database=C:\MyWorkbook.xls;].[MyWorksheet$B4:B4]
SET
F1=55
;

For more, see e.g.

To use a SQL statement, just create a new query, switch to SQL view and
type or paste the SQL into the query. Then you can export the query in
any of the usual ways.
