How are you getting at the excel document (i.e. from a form, from a command button, etc.)

You can create hyperlinks to excel documents or create a command button that can open Excel from Access.

Can you expand on what you would like?

Thanks.

I want to open an excel document preferably from a command button. (after an export)

but before the export, i would like to be able to replace the target excel document with its template...

Sorry, One last question....

Does the "export" come from a Query or Table?

It comes from a query wich has conditions... the conditions are defined on the form where the export is done

See the attached. I believe it will help you complete your database.

The code at the end of the attachment I provided shows how to open the excel document from Code.
