Importing queries from Access to Excel

Hi
I have an access database with some queries set up, but when I try to import the queries to Excel using the From Access tool in the Data tab, I can't see my queries in the list. Some are there, and some not. Any ideas?
Thank you
Sarah

RE: Importing queries from Access to Excel

Hello Sarah,

Not entirely sure what your trying to achieve. If you have set up a query in Access, for example to display all the customers in London, then the results can be exported to excel from within the database in Access, which may be a better option.
To do this you must run the query you want to export, then go to the External Data Ribbon, in the Export section, Select Excel. Following the instructions in the dialog box.

Alternatively, the method your doing from within should work fine. Ive tried it several times and all queries show up. Sorry without seeing your setup I cannot answer why they do not appear in your list?

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Access tip:

Hide Access Tables

One method of stopping your Access tables appearing in Database window, is to rename the table(s) with the prefix usys.

This converts the table into a system object, which cannot be viewed in the Database window.

You can show system objects in the Database window by the following:

Step 1: On the Tools menu, click Options.
Step 2: Click the View tab.
Under Show, select the System Objects check box.
Click OK.
