Hello everyone,

I have a question for you. Let's say I have a table in Access database and it has 100,000 records. I'd like to export this table's data to Excel spreadsheet. Docmd object has methods/actions OutputTo and TransferSpreadsheet to help to do this. But Excel has limits the number of rows - 65536 - per worksheet. Is there a workaround to solve this problem?
Please, any info or pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
 
Limit the data to 65,536 rows MAX per sheet.

THAT'S what you're working with.

It's the Sheet Limit for Excel.
