I'm currently creating an excel document via an Access 2003 Module.
I write the xls fine yet when I go to format the xls I get th
following
"Method 'Columns' of object '_Global' failed"... How do I create an
object to use the column?

If you sroll down you'll find this:

'''''''''''''''''''''' Here's where it break
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

that's where the problems begin... Any help will be greatl
appreciated.

Thanks.

Sean

Sean,

"Columns("A:N").Select" should be xlSheet.Columns("A:N").Select"
Also, the Excel constants are not available to Access.
So xlNone should be xlApp.xlNone
You may have other problems in the code. When automating Excel...

Every reference to Excel should be qualified with the appropriate
object reference. If you don't then "orphan" references can be
created that will prevent the Excel app from closing.

For example...
Range("A1").Select should be...xlSheet.Range("A1").Select
Range(Cells(1, 5), Cells(1, 10)) should be...
xlSheet.Range(xlSheet.Cells(1, 5), xlSheet.Cells(1, 10))

Do not use Selection, ActiveCell, ActiveWorkbook etc, use your object references.
For instance...
Columns("A:N").Select
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
Should be...
xlSheet.Columns("A:N").Borders(xlDiagonalDown).Lin eStyle = xlApp.xlNone
xlSheet.Columns("A:N").Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineS tyle = xlApp.xlNone

It is usually safer to avoid the use of "With".

Every object reference should be Set to Nothing before exiting the Sub.
