Hello all,
There are various subs on the internet which export to an existing Excel file I have tried, and they work fine. But each one I've seen requires the use of a single file name such as SingleFileName.xls
Since my database had dozens of tables, which might be needed by dozens of related existing Excel files, I am trying to have a form button determine a variable string, which in turn will determine which single table in the d/b, and which single Excel file to use.
Every attempt I've tried has failed. For the code attached, I tried using a variable called ProjectID. But VBA errors out saying Compile Error - Object required. I totally lost on what that means. Seems like a variable should work for this code. Would any one know how to use a variable both the Excel file to export to, and use that same variable for the Access table in the d/b? Thank you for any responses.
Again the code works fine if I input a single file name, with a single table name. So the code works fine that way.
