   Dim appExcel As Excel.Application
   Dim bks As Excel.Workbooks
   Dim sht As Excel.Worksheet

   Dim MyFile As String
   
   MyFile = fPath & fName2 'Point to the Data file

   DoCmd.OutputTo acQuery, "asa", "Excel Workbook(*.xlsx)", _
MyFile, True, ""

   appExcel.Workbooks.Open (MyFile)
   Set sht = appExcel.ActiveWorkbook.asa
   sht.Activate
   appExcel.Application.Visible = True
   With appExcel
    .Run "Edit"

you cant. the only format is .xlsx
then open it in xl and save as .xlsm

I do this after formatting my sheets, it saves the file as xlsm then deletes the old file. it can all be done from access. (90% of code removed for clarity.)


this creates the files...

Private Sub Command147_Click()          'create manual time sheet
    Dim db As DAO.Database
    Set db = CurrentDb
    Dim rstActual As DAO.Recordset
    Set rstActual = db.OpenRecordset("manual_sheet")
    gg = "C:\aaa\timesheets\Employee timesheet master.xls"
    bb = InputBox("Enter number of sheets required", "Excel time sheet generation", 1)
    fn = "FirstName"
    Ln = "LastName"
    DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM manual_sheet"
    t = Forms![main menu].start_date
    tt = Forms![main menu].End_date
    aa = tt - t
        For i = 1 To aa
        Set rstActual = db.OpenRecordset("manual_sheet", dbOpenDynaset)
        rstActual.AddNew
        rstActual!new_date = t
        rstActual.Update
        rstActual.Close
        t = t + 1
    Next i
    For i = 1 To bb
        DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "Employee Time Report Output with lunch for manual sheet", gg, True, "FirstName" & i & " " & "LastName" & i
    Next i
    Call format_sheets_now
    t = MsgBox("All requested Excel Time Sheets have been created" & vbCrLf & "          And saved in the following directory" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "                   C:\aaa\timesheets", vbOKOnly, "Automated Time Sheet Generation")
End Sub

then i clean it up here...

        Excel_Workbook.SaveAs filename:="C:\aaa\timesheets\Employee Timesheet for - " & sdt & " to " & edt & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
        t = Len(Dir("C:\aaa\timesheet backups"))
        If t = 0 Then
        Else
                Excel_Workbook.SaveAs filename:="C:\timesheet backups\Employee Timesheet for - " & sdt & " to " & edt & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
        End If
        Excel_Application.DisplayAlerts = True
        Excel_Application.Visible = True

        Kill "C:\aaa\timesheets\Employee Timesheet Master.xls"
