Hello All,
I am dumping data from an Ms Access data source to an
Excel spreadsheet. I have the field names and the data
going to excel just fine. I having trouble mimicking a
Header section from a picture of what my users want to
see. How can I:
1: Insert a into a cell and have the cell cover from A1
to say D1
2: Format that area with Highlight, bold, shading all
that good stuff.

If anyone could help me with that, it would really be
appreciated.

here's a shot...


Range("A1:D1").Select

Let me try that again..

Sub URSUB()
Range("A1:D1").Select
Selection.Font.Bold = True
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 6
.Pattern = xlSolid
End Sub
End With"Deville" wrote:

In addition to what Alex said, playing with Excel's Macro Recorder feature
can show you the right code. It also shows you a lot of format code you
don't need, but it's a great way to learn how to code cell formats.
