    Exporting a module into an Excel file

    This might sound odd, but I'm trying to figure out possible solutions to a problem. My idea in this case would be to use Access to create an Excel file (simple enough) but not only would I want it to write the table data into the file, but I would also like it to copy/export a selection of VBA into the workbook, so that when that file is opened, a workbook open event could execute. The latter is the part I need help with. I've got everything setup and the finished file being created. Now, if there's a way to "send" a module into the created Excel file - that might solve my issue. Thoughts?


    Thanks,

    in Access VBE, you can export the module, : right click , export, save it
    then in excel VBE: file, import, that same file

    I was aiming for a completely automated solution, so that the finished Excel file contains everything it needs. My interim solution is to house a "template" file elsewhere which the database copies in and renames, then Access exports the tables to that saved template file, rather than Access creating a new file. The template contains the Workbook_Open code that needs to run, so now when my end users open their report, it'll execute and give them what they need. I hope.

    theres no need to automate. All the code should already be there and shouldn't update so often that you need automation.
