Output form to excel with range ????

S

shiro

I've read the code written by Mr Dev on the site but that is not excatly
understand how the code is work.I have condition:
Some data that I want to output to are on the form Header,and the others
are on the detail section of my continuous form.Below is where I've got so
far

Dim appXL As Object
Dim wkb As Object
Dim wks As Object

Set appXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set wkb = appXL.Workbooks.Open("C:\MyFolder\My Workbook.xls")
Set wks = wkb.Worksheets(1)
appXL.Visible = True

wks.Cells(4, 3) = [Customer]
wks.Cells(6, 3) = [LotNo]
wks.Cells(7, 3) = [Model]

Field 'Customer' and 'LotNo' are on the form header and 'Model' is on
the detail section of the form.And if there are about 5 records returned
after filtering.I want the field 'Model' outputting to cell (7, 3) until
cell (11, 3)
Does the 'Model' outputting with range? Please help to code it.
Thank's

Shiro,
here is a long post with lots of useful code for exporting to excel. I got
this from our discussion group some time ago. I am posting this as I don't
have time to write code to exactly suit your example.

You will need to do this in Access. You can manipulate the Excel object
model from Access, but the syntax will be a little different that if you are
actually in Excel. The code below is much more than you need, but you can
use it to copy the pieces you do need into your own code. The important
part
when using automation between Access and Excel is how you open and close a
reference to Excel and how you refer to the Excel objects. If not done
correctly, it can create problems. So, enjoy (and post back if you need
help
understanding any of this)

Very nice code, Klatuu, I'm sure you have a declaration section
where you declare all the xlConstants, don't you? (probably also
contains declaration of "cell", too?)

Else there'd probably be some challenges going late bound.

No, it works as is. I have seen other posts stating the xl constants are
only available in late binding, but I have found that not to be true. In
fact, I can go into the immediate window without an instance of Excel
running
and query an xl constant and it returns the correct value. Maybe it could
be
because I have the Excel 11.0 object library in my references.

I use late binding because when this particular code was written, we had
some users on Office 2000 and some on 2003. Early binding in that case
causes one or the other not to work because the object libraries are
different.

As to the cells, I don't know what you mean. Cells is a property of both
the Worksheet and Range objects.

Yes!

The xlConstants are only available when referencing the automated
application, which is what one would do when using early binding.

Check out Tony Toews article on late binding, with further links

I went back and looked more closely at the cell issue. My brain, at first
read cells. Now looking at it, I wonder why it works. It has been in
production since March, 2005. That's weird. I don't even find any refernce
to a cell object or property in help or the object browser.

Well, maybe I discovered something. I promise it works.

I think you didn't use Option Explicit and the "cell" wasn't declared as
anything so the Range object is assigned to the variable "cell" in your For
Each statement.

You can check this fairly easily because if I am correct, the For Each ...
loop is only executed once only.

Had a similar need just last week. You can open the spreadsheet and make
the format changes all from VBA. Here is my code, which works in A2K.
Maybe
you can take something from it.

Nice code, Bruce.
I would make one suggestion. The Selection object in Automation can get
squirly on you. It is really better to use the Range object. It seems to be
more stable.
Klatuu

thanks for the tip on the Range vs. Selection. Didn't know that
