Create excel spreadsheet from recordset

Hello.

Is it possible, using code, to create a spreadsheet in excel format, with
cells containing constant text and formulae and inserting data from a
recordset in specific cells?

If so, could someone point me to an information page with details on how to
achieve this?

Many thanks

I am SURPRISED!!!

You did not recommend your procedure to export records to Excel that takes
hours to run!!! Since ot works, you said that it is the correct way to do
it.

I would use ole autom only for occasional work and small dataset (every
time I tried it took ages, especially if you have complex cell
formatting).

I would rather look for XML

for instance (there are several refs on the web):
