Hi. I am running the following vb command from access 2013.

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "123", "c:\test\test.xls", True

Access 2013 - Excel 2013

The table 123 is created but the external table is not in the expected format appears and when I click on debug, the command line above is highlighted.

Any suggestions / ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
UPDATE: The above ONLY works when the template file test.xls is already open. Then the output of table 123 will export to excel with no issues. Please help!! I would like this to work with the test.xls closed as a script exists to create a number of files.
