HOW DO I OPEN AN EXCEL TEMPLATE USING A CONTROL BUTTON IN ACCESS

J

John Cello

Give this a try. Make it the OnClick event procedure of
your command button.

Tested on Access 2003, Win XPPro

Function runexcel()
On Error GoTo runexcel_Err
' In the Call Shell section, put the path to Excel.exe
and the path to your .xlt
Call Shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11
\excel.exe ""C:\1\Book1.xlt""", 1)


runexcel_Exit:
Exit Function

runexcel_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume runexcel_Exit

End Function

Hope this helps.
