creating excel file from access with docmd
I am creating an excel spreadsheet from access where I build the query in the code behind using docmd.
Dim excelquery As String
Dim excelName As String
excelquery = "SELECT a,b, c FROM tableSql where a = 123"
excelName = "Excel_" & Month(Date) & Day(Date) & Year(Date) & ".xls"
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, excelquery, acFormatXLS, excelName, True
When I run it I get a message that the access database could not find the object "Select ..."
Is there another way to do this?
