Search Form - Export Results to Excel Button 1

[Elvis72]

I have this multiple search criteria form that I need to make the search results exportable by simple users into an excel spreadsheet.

The simplest approach in my mind is to add a button...but from reading some of the posts...maybe not?

For grins here is the code for the form just in case it has bearing.

Thanks so much!~

Private Sub Command12_Click()
'Purpose: Build up the criteria string form the non-blank search boxes, and apply to the form's Filter.
'Notes: 1. We tack " AND " on the end of each condition so you can easily add more search boxes; _
we remove the trailing " AND " at the end.
' 2. The date range works like this: _
Both dates = only dates between (both inclusive. _
Start date only = all dates from this one onwards; _
End date only = all dates up to (and including this one).
Dim strWhere As String 'The criteria string.
Dim lngLen As Long 'Length of the criteria string to append to.
Const conJetDate = "\#mm\/dd\/yyyy\#" 'The format expected for dates in a JET query string.
