convert Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 to ms excel 2003
 

I have a database (mdb file) and when I export data to excel using the
command OutputTo, the database export and generates an excel file format
5.0/95.
I just asked in news group if is possible to export using the same method
(OutputTo) and they answer is not possible.

So, I would like to know, how can I save as or convert the excel file format
5.0/95 to ms excel 2003 (current format) via VBA and without asking if do you
want to overwrite...?

Thanks

Did you ask this question in an Access newsgroup?

If not, then that's where I'd try.

Well, if you don't get a good answer here.

You don't need to use access.
If you use vba and if you know how can convert, let me know.

To change the file format look at SaveAs in help and its second argument.
Perhaps something like this (if the workbook has already been saved)

Dim wb As Excel.Workbook
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
' if code is in Access qualify with a ref to the Excel.Application

wb.SaveAs wb.FullName, xlNormal

To prevent the "do you want to overwrite...?" precede the saveas with
Application.displayalerts = false
and reset to true when done.

If the workbook has never been saved, ie does not have a path, change

wb.FullName
to
sFileName

where sFileName = something like "C:\folder\myBook.xls"

If your VBA is in Access and you are not using Early Binding you'll need to
change the code along these lines

Dim wb As Object
Set wb = xlApp.ActiveWorkbook' or whatever workbook
wb.SaveAs wb.FullName, -4143 ' value of the xlNormal constant
