    VBA to export each table row as it's own excel file

    Hello,



    I have a piece of VBA that will split each row in a table into it's own excel file.

    However it does not work unless there is an empty field in the output (and source/dest tables) - is there any way to get this to work without exporting files that contains a empty columns at the start?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    you are working with an sql database. There is no need to copy 1 record at a time, 1 field at a time.
    use queries.
    number the records

    then make a query to pull 1 record:
    qsOutput = select * from input where recNo = forms!myForm!txtCount

    it stores the X on the form and the query reads it to export only that 1 record.
    then run thru the list exporting the query.
    Code:
    iCount = Dcount("*","input")
    For x = 1 To iCount
         forms!myForm!txtCount = X
         sFile = "c:\temp\MyFile" & format(x,"00") & ".xls"
    
    
         docmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport ,acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "qsOutput", sFile, true
    
    
    next

    There are several errors that should be corrected.

    1) You have SPACES in field names and you have special characters in field names.
    Object naming rules:
    Use only letters and numbers (exception is the underscore) for object names.
    Do not use spaces, punctuation or special characters in object names.
    Do not use look up FIELDS, multi-value fields or calculated fields in tables.
    Do not begin object names with a number.

    2) "Name", "Input" and "Output" are reserved words and shouldn't be used for object names.
    Change "Input" and "Output" to "tblInput" and "tblOutput". (make changes in the code also)

    3) The path variable looks suspect. Why are there two dots in the path"??
    4) The last character in the path variable MUST be a back slash.
    Code:
    path = "\\nas01\kdrive\..Subscriptions\Data\Workbooks (CRM)\Delegates\output\output\"

    Hi Ssanfu/Ranman

    Thanks for looking at my query - I was able to update this so it uses a SQL select query that does not include the empty field.

    I'll bear the object naming rules in mind going forward - just using access here as a small part of a process to take a file and split out the rows and nothing else so I'm hoping it wont cause any issues - I needed the output file headers to match the current field names in the tables but i guess this should be renamed in a select statement in best use?

    Also thanks for point 4 - didn't realize it needed a backslash!

    Tom
