Trasfer to Excel

I can transfer my data from a table into an Excel Spreaadsheet with

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "Whatever",
"Whatever"

This saves the spreadsheet and the user has to open it. I would prefer the
user to have Excel to open automatically with the data in it, then save it
if they want to. I feel it ought to be easy but I may be looking in the
wrong place.

Thanks in advance

Not sure this is what you want, but you can make a simple macro that
transfers the data to an Excel-file and automatically opens it. The action
is something like 'execute to', I'm not sure since I only have the Dutch
version. In that action you have an option 'Autostart Yes/No'.

Add one more line of code:

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8,
"Whatever", "Whatever"
Application.FollowHyperlink "Whatever the Path and name of the file
is.xls"

Thanks .... This is on a network where the database is in an area where the
user can read only. I want the user to be able to save the Excel file in
their own area. Ideally I wan to open an empty excel spreadsheet with the
dat then pasted into it. (I could just allow the user to cut and paste, but
this way I can do all the business of filtering the data foe them.)
