Set appExcel = GetObject(, “Excel.Application”)
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset(“qryRecordsToArchive”)
Set wkb = appExcel.Workbooks.Add(strTemplateFile)
Set wks = wkb.Sheets(1)
wks.Activate
appExcel.Visible = True
Write the date range to title cell:
Set rng = wks.Range(“A1”)
strSheetTitle = “Archived Orders for “ _
& Format(dteStart, “d-mmm-yyyy”) _
& “ to “ & Format(dteEnd, “d-mmm-yyyy”)
Debug.Print “Sheet title: “ & strSheetTitle
rng.Value = strSheetTitle
Go to the first data cell:
Set rngStart = wks.Range(“A4”)
Set rng = wks.Range(“A4”)
Reset lngCount to the number of records in the data source query:
rst.MoveLast
rst.MoveFirst
lngCount = rst.RecordCount
For n = 1 To lngCount
Write data from the recordset to the data area of the worksheet, using the columnoffsetargu-
ment to move to the next cell:
