Copying from Access. Pasting to Excel

[shlobodon]

Hello,

I am having difficulty transferring data from Access to Excel using VBA. Originally, I wanted to use the DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport method. However, I was having difficulties exporting to a specific Excel file, sheet, and cell. This is what my coding looked like

mydb.DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "NB Savings Final", "K:\nataccts\1Reports\1 - Strategic Partners\Customer\Cost Savings\2016\Customer_Cost Savings_Jan" & YTDMonth & "2016.xlsx", True, "NB Savings!B4:N2467"

I decided to give up on this since I was having problems and copying a table to my clipboard would have worked just as well. However, I am having issues with this, too. I have written a similar code that moves info between 2 excel files in a previous project. I have provided this coding.

Windows("CSA for Requisition Review Program_Master.xls").Activate
Sheets("DCS Form").Activate
Rows("5").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Req Review Program CSA YTD File v3.xlsb").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Rows("1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Windows("CSA for Requisition Review Program_Master.xls").Activate
Sheets("DCS Form").Activate

This is what I am looking to do between Access and Excel. I am having difficulties switching to Access then copying the table data. I have gotten this far...

mydb.DoCmd.OpenTable "EB Savings Final", acViewNormal, acEdit
mydb.DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, "EB Savings Final"


mydb.RunCommand acCmdSelectAllRecords


mydb.RunCommand acCmdCopy
mydb.DoCmd.Close acTable, "Changeboard query", acSaveNo
Windows("Customer_Cost Savings_Jan" & YTDMonth & "2016.xlsx").Activate
Sheets("EB Savings").Activate
Range("B4").Paste


I am hoping that someone would be able to provide me with the correct coding for either the DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport or clipboard method. Thanks in advance.

Tips:
- always give details on the failure - otherwise, no clues makes it difficult if not impossible to help on the first try.
- I've never seen anything like your "mydb" preface before Access objects like DoCmd.
- Look here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff844793.aspx and pay particular attention to the last comment on the Range parameter row of the explanatory table. If I read right and you are trying to export to Excel, I think you will find your problem there.
Again, without any clues about error messages or responses, I'm guessing. You could also have referenced the wrong Excel version and may have two issues - one that hasn't been arrived at yet.
