I had this problem about two years ago. If I remember correctly, you need to
save the table as a .CSV file (which can be opened by Excel). Keep in mind
that Excel has a limit of 35656 lines (or something near that amount). By
exporting it as a CSV file, you end up having all your rows into the file.

Depends on which version of Excel.

I just opened my copy (Excel 2002), selected Help and used "specifications"
to find it could hold over 65,000 rows in a worksheet.

My excel is XP, not sure which version is it. But in Help/specificatio, it
shows 65,536 rows max.

In this case, I still need help to find a way to export 50K rows from Access
to Excel. Also, I only need around 50K rows, they are less than 65K rows. Why
can't I export all the data from Access to Excel?

Not sure your definition of "export".

Have you tried highlighting the table in the database window, then selecting
File | Export, and selecting Excel as the format to export to?

I know what's wrong, I didn't highlight all the area.

Now, the column "Date" were not exported by sorted date in excel. The orders
show in excel are not same as "Access".

Is it a way to keep the same order of all access records in excel?

Thanks, Holly

Access tables are "buckets o' data", and have no particular order.

If you want to sort the data in a table in a particular order before
exporting, create a query and do the sorting there. Then highlight the
query and export it.
