you need to put the output filename (outputStats):
Code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Products", aformatxls, outputstats, , , , acExportQualityPrint
Call FormatMyWorkSheet(outputstats)
End Sub

on a sepate Module, paste this code:
Code:
Public Function FormatMyWorkSheet(ByVal excel_file As String)

    Dim xlApp As Object         'Excel.Application
    Dim wb As Object            'Excel.Workbook
    Dim sh As Object            'Excel.Worksheet
    
    Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    Set wb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(excel_file)
    Set sh = wb.Sheets(1)
    
    sh.Range("A1:I1").Select
    xlApp.Selection.Font.Bold = True
    With xlApp.Selection.Font
        .Name = "Calibri"
        .Size = 14
        .Strikethrough = False
        .Superscript = False
        .Subscript = False
        .OutlineFont = False
        .Shadow = False
        .Underline = -4142      'xlUnderlineStyleNone
        .ThemeColor = 2         'xlThemeColorLight1
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .ThemeFont = 2          'xlThemeFontMinor
    End With
    sh.Range("A2:A5").Select
    xlApp.Selection.Font.Bold = True
    sh.Range("A1:J5").Select
    'xlApp.Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = -4142       'xlNone
    'xlApp.Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = -4142         'xlNone
    'With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
    xlApp.Selection.Borders(5).LineStyle = -4142       'xlNone
    xlApp.Selection.Borders(6).LineStyle = -4142         'xlNone
    With xlApp.Selection.Borders(7)       'xlEdgeLeft
        .LineStyle = 1      'xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = 2     'xlThin
    End With
    With xlApp.Selection.Borders(8)       'xlEdgeTop
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = 2     'xlThin
    End With
    With xlApp.Selection.Borders(9)     'xlEdgeBottom
        .LineStyle = 1      'xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = 2     'xlThin
    End With
    With xlApp.Selection.Borders(10)        'xlEdgeRight
        .LineStyle = 1      'xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = 2     'xlThin
    End With
    With xlApp.Selection.Borders(11)        'xlInsideVertical
        .LineStyle = 1      'xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = 2         'xlThin
    End With
    With xlApp.Selection.Borders(12)        'xlInsideHorizontal
        .LineStyle = 1      'xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = 2         'xlThin
    End With
    
    wb.Close True
    Set sh = Nothing
    Set wb = Nothing
    xlApp.Quit
    Set xlApp = Nothing

End Function

When click on the export button.. am getting the screen > output To (Select Output format) in which there is Excel 97 - Excel 2003 workbook.
If i select this option getting screen "Microsoft Excel - Compatibility Checker " after clicking on continue it opening the formatted excel.

Is there a way to directly open it using the installed excel and avoid this Compatibility checker?

sh.Range("A1:I1").Font.Color = 15 ------> kind of grey blue

This is when it's time to stop and use the macro recorder yourself, see what kind of code it produces, and make an effort to tweak to suit.
