Query results button to Excel

you can have the query look for controls in your form as parameters, and then use docmd.transferspreadsheet
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/access.docmd.transferspreadsheet

If you want different data exported than what is being viewed on the form, you will need to make two queries.

It's not clear how your form and the search button work.  Are the search results displayed on a bound form?  In a list box...?  What is the code behind the button?

The code behind the button probably creates a SQL WHERE clause which is then applied to either the form's record source or a listbox's rowsource property.  If you want to export a different collection of fields to Excel, you extend your code to create an SQL statement like this:

dim s as string
' sCrit is the criteria that I'm guessing your command button creates to filter your data
s = "SELECT Field1 as [User Friendly Column Heading], Field2 AS  [Another Column Heading] FROM YourTableOrQuery WHERE " &  sCrit  

Select allOpen in new window

Then you can call code to export the SQL string to Excel (The function at the end of this post is one I've used for similar tasks):

If GenericExcelReport(s, "My Excel Report Title") = true then
       msgbox "Export Done"
Else
      msgbox "Export Failed"
end if

'On Error GoTo ErrGenericExcelReport

    GenericExcelReport = False

Thanks John.  That worked great!
