The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I output a simple Access Report as an Excel spreadsheet?

Asked by colinasad in Access Reports, Access Coding/Macros, Microsoft Access Database

Tags: Microsoft Access 2007

I am developing an Access 2007 "project" (.adp) as a front-end to a SQL Server 2005 Express database.

I have a fairly simple Access Report that is based on a SQL Server View.
I would like to open this Report (with "WHERE" and "ORDER BY" clauses sent in via "OpenArgs"), and save it as an Excel spreadsheet.
The attached code shows how I am attempting this, but I get a run-time error (# 2282), telling me
"The format in which you are attempting to output the current object is not available".

If I replace the two "XLS" expressions with "PDF", I do get a "PDF" file generated OK.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get my report saved as an Excel spreadsheet?

Many thanks. Colin.
