I'm beginning to look at how my application, developed in Access 2003, will
function in Access 2007. So far it's going pretty well. However, the "Analyze
it with Microsoft Office Excel" menu item, which was a standard item in A2003
results in an error with A2007, SP2. Before I installed SP2, my existing
"Analyze it with Microsoft Office Excel" menu item was dimmed out when
running my App in Access 2007. After SP2 installation, the menu item is now
functioning but results in the following error:
"The format in which you are attempting to output the current object is not
available".
In design mode in A2007, I have the ribbon command, "Export to Excel
Spreadsheet", which seems to work fine. HOWEVER, in my app, I use custom
menus and I do not make any portion of the development environment available
to users.
My basic question is: How can I get the export or analyze to Excel feature
working in my current app. I do not want to change to ribbons, but would like
to keep my existing custom menus. Can I mix custom menus with ribbons??? I
don't think I can turn the A2007 Export to Excel Spreadsheet feature into a
custom MENU item, because A2007 does not support editing/creating menu items.
