    Transfer spreadsheet formated column

    Hi I am using this code for transfering a query results to excel:
    Private Sub SEND_ACQ_Click()
    Dim Filename As String
    DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12xml, "S_EXPORT", "C:\users\**\S_EXPORT.xlsx", True
    MsgBox " table created" & vbCrLf _
    & "FILE SAVED " & vbCrLf, vbYes + vbInformation, " - SUCCESSFULLY CREATED"
    End Sub
    Actually What I want is that the three colums I do export : Student Name / Phone / birthday should be formated like Text / Number / Date/
    So I want have the famous erro number stored as text.




    Any ideas are appreciated

    Why would you want phone as a number? I just tested export and phone number does not have the warning but zip code does because have only 5 digits. Is the warning really an issue? Data still works.

    Phone number value is not saved in table with punctuation - parens and hyphens?

    I tested export of phone number from text field saved without punctuation and used Val() function on the field. The column in spreadsheet did not have warning. But I did get an unexpected warning message before the export "Unable to append record" to which I replied Yes and the data exported. Apparently was because some records did not have phone number and the Val() function errors with Null. So if Nulls are possible, try:

    Val(Nz([Fieldname],0))
