Get the save name from workbook’s Title property:
Set prps = _
appExcel.ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties
strSaveName = strWorksheetPath & prps(“Title”) _
& “ - “ & Format(Date, “d-mmm-yyyy”)
Debug.Print “Worksheet save name: “ & strSaveName

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
strPrompt = “Enter file name and path for saving worksheet”
strTitle = “File name”
strDefault = strSaveName
strSaveName = InputBox(prompt:=strPrompt, _
Title:=strTitle, Default:=strDefault)
wkb.SaveAs FileName:=strSaveName, _
FileFormat:=xlWorkbookDefault
appExcel.Visible = True

The procedure first picks up the worksheet template path from the main menu, checks that the
template is to be found in that location, and then creates a new workbook from the template. It
then sets up a recordset based on an Access query, goes to the first data cell in the worksheet, and
starts iterating through the records in the recordset, using the Offsetmethod of the active cell to
place data from each field in the correct column.
