You forgot to tell the OP your patented, WELL DOCUMENTED technique to export
all the records by exporting one field at a time. Or maybe this isn't such a
perfectly correct technique after all!!
<<The question I have is why have 500 separate worksheets?>>
Answer - the OP looked at your previous response to another OP wanting to
export Access records to Excel, followed your recommendation and exported
the records one field at a time!!
Er-rr If there are 3000 records and ~ 60 unique values and the OP wants 1
worksheet for each unique ID, that sounds like 60 worksheets, not 500
worksheets. INDEED, that assumes the OP does not try the patented, WELL
DOCUMENTED technique of exporting one field at a time!!!
INDEED, INDEED, INDEED!!!!

I have a table in Access with about 3000 records. There are
~60 unique values in the ID field for the 3000 records. What
I would like to do is automatically generate multiple Excel
worksheets within a single workbook with these records. I
would end up with around 500 worksheets, 1 for each unique ID
value. I was thinking this could be done if I have an
exported flag column in the table, and I search for the max
(or min) on the ID field, select those, and export those into
a worksheet, and set the flag to yes. Then the process could
be run from the beginning again so that it selects the next
set of records for the max, and exports those.
Does anyone have code that would do this?
You'd be a lot better off to export the entire recordset into Excel
and build a pivot table to do your selection.
The question I have is why have 500 separate worksheets?
