hello all, i have some problems that i hope you can help me with.
i have a access database on which i have a subform that the user can hide or unhide columns by clicking on tick boxes on the main form,(some columns not required for different subforms)
i have a button that can export the data in subform to excel and if needs be create the folders to store it in, this all seems to work, (the code for doing this i got from some site that i cannot remember, it was a long time ago)
1 when it exports to excel it shows all columns, even the ones that has been hidden, how do i stop this?
2 it also exports some textboxes onto the that i have requested to do (company name, project, drawing)this works fine, but could i create a header in vba and place the textboxes on to it ? if so how please,
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Whatever is loaded into the subform will be exported. Trick then is to alter what loads into the subform - either load different forms if it's a form that you're loading, or if you're loading a query into a datasheet, load a different query that reflects what you want to see.

As for your second question, I'd forget about altering form design via code. You can alter a header height in vba once you've set it in design, but you cannot add or remove controls via code unless you put the form in design view first - even if that is being done in code. Can't see why you'd want to do that.
