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.
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?
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.
