run excel macro from access

[serge]

I would like to print excel spreasheets from a specified xls file from Access.

I think I could create a macro in Excel. This would print the spreadsheets
requested. However, I don't know how to launch it from Access. What is the
VBA code for running this excel macro ?

Thanks in advance
Serge

This may give you some ideas.

Function Open_TrainLoadingEast()
Dim xlApp As Variant
Dim xlBook As Variant
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\data\excel\TrainLoading.xlt")
xlApp.sheets("Data").range("e1") = Forms!frmLoading.txtDate
xlApp.sheets("Data").range("e2") = Forms!frmLoading.opt1.Value
xlApp.Run "EastPrint"
'xlApp.Application.Visible = True
xlBook.Close (False)
xlApp.Quit
Set xlApp = Nothing
Set xlBook = Nothing
End Function
