Access 2003 export to Excel sheets 2003

Locked

Hello,

I am trying to export several Access 2003 select queries to Excel 2003 using an Access macro. I’m using the macro command “TransferSpreadsheet” to export the queries. This going quit well, but I’ve one problem.
The first problem is that in Excel apostrophes (‘), carets (^), quotation marks (“), or backslashes (\) appear in the formula bar but not in the cells, like it does when you import in Excel from Lotus. When I use the command “CmD.Output” to Excel this doesn’t appear. A little problem, but quit annoying because the characters are taken over by a copy and paste action.

The code I use is:
——————–
Function Mcr_Export_ScanControlDetailTypetoExcel()
On Error GoTo Mcr_Export_ScanControlDetailTypetoExcel_Err

Dim strdate As String

strdate = Format$(Date, “yyyymmdd”)

Set filesys = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
If filesys.FileExists(“D:\My Documents\Desktop\Scancontrol_DetailType-” & strdate & “.xls”) Then
filesys.DeleteFile “D:\My Documents\Desktop\Scancontrol_DetailType-” & strdate & “.xls”
End If

Set appExcel = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)

appExcel.Visible = True
appExcel.Application.WindowState = xlMaximized
appExcel.ScreenUpdating = True

‘ Exporteren ‘Report Customer Information’ naar Excel
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, “Mutation_AST_Laptop”, “D:\My Documents\Desktop\Scancontrol_DetailType-” & strdate & “.xls”, True, “”
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, “Mutation_AST_Workstation”, “D:\My Documents\Desktop\Scancontrol_DetailType-” & strdate & “.xls”, True, “”
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, “New_AST_Laptop”, “D:\My Documents\Desktop\Scancontrol_DetailType-” & strdate & “.xls”, True, “”
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, “New_AST_Workstation”, “D:\My Documents\Desktop\Scancontrol_DetailType-” & strdate & “.xls”, True, “”

appExcel.Workbooks.Open “D:\My Documents\Desktop\Scancontrol_DetailType-” & strdate & “.xls”
——————
Has anyone a suggestion?

With kind regards,
