RE: [AccessDevelopers] Exporting to excel and overwriting data

[Lava Boggavarapu]

How about deleting the .xls file and then creating a new .xls file with the new data?   Lava   ------------------------------------------------ Lava Boggavarapu Lava Trading Inc. 95 Morton Street New York, NY 10014   Tel 212.519.9371 Mobile 732.668.2935 www.lavatrading.com -----Original Message----- From: AccessDevelopers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of rodger042 Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 11:34 AM To: AccessDevelopers@yahoogroups.com Subject: [AccessDevelopers] Exporting to excel and overwriting data   I appologize if this is in the archives somewhere already.  If so, I didn't find it. I have a user asking about exporting from access to excel and overwriting data... here is the scenario 1) Take an excel worksheet with a lot of data 2) Export a table or query from MS Access with the same name as that worksheet 3) Receive the option to overwrite 4) If the data is less than would cover the original data you only partially overwite the original data - you don't replace the entire sheet Example of sheet filled with 1's that had an export done on it would look like this data 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Basically the user would like to be able to export a smaller set of data over a larger set in excel and have anything that wasn't there automatically erased. I am not aware of a way to facialitate this with a simple togle anywhere.  I'm thinking the only practical way for this to happen automatically is with a macro.  Can someone confirm this for me?  OR better yet, prove me wrong?  ;-) Thanks for your time The information contained in this message and any attachments (the "Message") is intended for specific individual(s), and may be confidential or proprietary.
