Please can someone tell me how to go about adding to the code below. Currently the user enters the date criteria in a form. This works great and the data is exported to excel. But I can't seem to figure out how to get the input from the user to also be exported to Cell A1 in excel. Example: if the user enters starting date and end date, that information should be placed in the A1field in excel. Thanks for your help.


Public Function ExportDataExcel()
Dim strFilePath As String
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strFileTemplate As String
Dim strMacroName As String


If (MsgBox("You are about to generate the LAR Monthly Report. Are you sure you wish to continue? You cannot cancel this procedure once started.", vbOKCancel) = vbCancel) Then
Exit Function
End If

'''''''''''''UPDATE THIS DATA WITH YOURS''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Fill in the following with your files and path
strFilePath = "R:\Call Center\Call Center Departments\Mortgage Dept\Mortgage Statistics & Tracking\"
strFileName = "Output.xls"
strFileTemplate = "Template.xls"
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''

'This deletes the old file
Kill strFilePath & strFileName
'This recreates your file with the template
FileCopy strFilePath & strFileTemplate, strFilePath & strFileName

openexcel strFilePath & strFileName

ExportData "qryHoeqDotApproved", "HOEQ DOT APPROVED"
ExportData "qryHoeqDotReceived", "HOEQ DOT RECEIVED"

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''

xl.ActiveWorkbook.Save
'The Application.Run will run the Macro(s) that you saved in your spreadsheet
xl.Application.Run "'" & strFileName & "'!" & strMacroName
xl.ActiveWorkbook.Save

'Uncomment/Comment these to close out the workbook
xl.ActiveWorkbook.Close
xl.Quit
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLar"
Set xl = Nothing

End Function


Private Function ExportData(strQuery As String, strSheet As String)
Dim intR As Integer
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim qd As DAO.QueryDef


Application.SetOption "Show Status Bar", True

vStatusBar = SysCmd(acSysCmdSetStatus, "Formatting export file... please wait.")


'After you open that Object/Workbook, you refer to that workbook now as 'xl'. You will
'use it later, but now you have to access your queries through this code and to do so
'you need to use a recordset.
'strQuery is the name of the Query that you passed with the Function. You can also
'use an SQL string.

Set dbs = CurrentDb
'QueryDefs (0)
'QueryDefs ("name")
'QueryDefs![name]

Set qd = dbs.QueryDefs("" & strQuery & "")

qd.Parameters![txtStartDate] = [Forms]![frmLar]![txtStartDate]
qd.Parameters![txtEndDate] = [Forms]![frmLar]![txtEndDate]

Set rs = qd.OpenRecordset


'Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strQuery)
rs.MoveLast 'moves to the last record
rs.MoveFirst 'moves back to the first record

'You can use record count to make sure there are records in your Query/Recordset
If rs.RecordCount < 1 Then
'There are no records
MsgBox "There are no records for " & strQuery
Else
'There are 1 or more records. Now Select the sheet that you will be exporting to
xl.Sheets(strSheet).Select

'Now you need to loop through the records. 'intR' was dimmed at beginning of this
'function and will now use it to create a loop or 'For, Next'

'Starts with record 1 and gets the count of records in the recordset so it knows where
'to stop.
For intR = 1 To rs.RecordCount
'Now we need to export the recordset/query to the workbook/object we opened earlier.
'Remember 'rs' refers to the recordset & 'xl' refers to the workbook

'xl.cells(ROW,COLUMN).VALUE = rs.fields(INDEX).
'This is how you will fill in the value of a cell on the workbook. For the ROW you
'will want to add + 1 if you have Headings on your sheet. The INDEX for rs.fields
'refers to the columns of the recordset/query. The first column of the recordset
'starts with the index of zero.

xl.Cells(intR + 3, 1).Value = rs.Fields(0)
xl.Cells(intR + 3, 2).Value = rs.Fields(1)
xl.Cells(intR + 3, 3).Value = rs.Fields(2)
xl.Cells(intR + 3, 4).Value = rs.Fields(3)

'Moves to the next record
rs.MoveNext
Next intR 'Loops back to For and enters data for the next row

'Once the export is done, this just puts the cursor to A1 on each sheet
xl.range("A1").Select

'Clears the recordset
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing

vStatusBar = SysCmd(acSysCmdClearStatus)

End If

End Function

Take a look at the attached example. You should see how to properly enter two dates, connect to Excel, and export the two dates into cell A1. (Open the form f_ExportExample, and look at the code behind the "Expert to Excel" button.)

NOTE: You need to add the Excel Object Library reference to do this. Open the code window (press Alt+F11), and then look at Tools -> References. You'll see what I mean.

You should be able to take it from here.

Thank you Moniker, that did the trick.
