I have data in access in the form of a table. I need to export it to excel in the form of an excel sheet where i should even be able to make updates to the data if necessary. I have to do this using VBA. And also one more thing the data I have in access is which i have generated using SQL
Why do this with VBA? There are multiple simple ways to do this from the normal interface options.
And what do you mean by, "the data I have in access is which i have generated using SQL"?

Hello Stackoverflow community,
I am currently testing code in Access VBA that will export a form and all of its controls as it appears directly to the user (while on one record). In short, I have a calculation tool with many inputs which calculates an international trips estimated total cost and saves all the inputs to a table, in order to record costs per unique trip.
Currently (on-click button), I am exporting one record from the table into an excel workbook and have a lengthy P.I.T.A. excel MACRO that re-formats the raw data into the format that is similar to the user-form in Access. Is there any way (other than to screenshot the form) to get a "print preview" and save as a PDF or any other output.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this and I appreciate any insight regarding this topic.
you can export your form to pdf using this command
docmd.OutputTo acOutputForm,"your form name", acformatpdf, "export file path"
Once you export all of the data you need from MySQL into an Excel spreadsheet using PHP Excel, is it possible to call an existing Excel macro to apply formats to the data? If so could you provide an example, please?
I am writing a report and one of the sources resides in a Google docs spreadsheet. Is it possible to use that spreadsheet as a datasource in SSRS?
Is this doc spreadsheet Excel file? If so , you can use ODBC driver and use the Excel file as data source. See:
http://hussain-msbi.blogspot.com/2012/07/create-ssrs-report-using-excel-data.html
Otherwise you have to custom a data process extension so that SSRS can read the data.
Unfortunately it is not possible to use a google docs spreadsheet as a direct datasource for SSRS. You would need to make use of an API to download your data locally into a flat file format (such as csv). From there you can access the flat file as an SSRS datasource
I am currently working on a simple report in Microsoft Report Builder 3.0 but it needs to be exported to Excel and sent to different vendors.
Is it possible to Export a report into individual Excel Spreadsheets, not pages of one Excel Spreadsheet?
Or if this is not possible, what would the best approach be?
This can be done after you have deployed your report to a Report Manager or SharePoint portal - it's called a Data Driven Subscription:

I've been trying to create a complete system using MS Access, but i really need to use the functionality of excel spreadsheets.
I wish to do the following; when I create a record, i create a directory for that record, and copy an excel spreadsheet to that directory.
The spreadsheet will be able to link to the corresponding record. So for example if I have a field 'Name' In the database record, the value of this field will show up on the excel spreadsheet.
Is it possible to do this?
It might help for you to explain your concept of "links" between Access rows and separate spreadsheets. That baffles me.
Rather than "link" each Access record to a separate spreadsheet, perhaps you could have the spreadsheet query the database to retrieve whatever updated information it needs.
Or use automation driven from Access to revise the spreadsheet.
Edit: To get start driving Excel from Access, look at Sample Excel Automation by Dev Ashish
Sounds overly complex and unmaintainable. Why not just embed a spreadsheet into your record?
