Excel report dump

[Nick]

Does anyone know a way to give the user the option of letting a user launch
a query and have it dump into an excel spreadsheet all with the push of one
button from a form? The way I have it set up right now is the user actually
launches the query from the form, enters date criteria, and the query
displays the reports in Access format, from which they have to dump to
Excel. I would really rather them not see the Access data at all.

Thanks. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Nick,

Lookup the TransferSpreadsheet function in Help. Use a pop-up form called
PFrmDateCriteria to enter your date criteria. Here's a skelton of what you
need ---

Put code like this in the OnClick event of a button:

DoCmd.OpenForm "PFrmDateCriteria",,,,,acDialog
DoCmd.transferSpreadsheet............
DoCmd.Close acForm, "PFrmDateCriteria"

On PFrmDateCriteria, put this code either in the AfterUpdate event of the date
field or iin the OnClick event of an OK button:

Me.Visible = False
