DoCmd.OutputTo works in .adp file but not .accdb file

[cleteh]

I am rebuilding a database as a .accdb file instead of .adp file so it will work in Access 2013 and I get a Property not found error on this line trying to transfer results from a view into an excel file. This code works in the .adp file.

'Export the open issues query results (created view in SQL server)
[CODE][CODE]DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputServerView, "dbo.Issue Open 3", "ExcelWorkbook(*.xlsx)", "I:\Groups\ccuser\Finance\Collection Control\Open Issues\OpenIssuesReport.xlsx", False, "", , acExportQualityPrint

Try changing "ExcelWorkbook(*.xlsx)" to acFormatXLS

DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputServerView, "dbo.Issue Open 3", acFormatXLS, "I:\Groups\ccuser\Finance\Collection  Control\Open Issues\OpenIssuesReport.xls", False, "", ,  acExportQualityPrint

You might also want to look into using the DoCmd.TrasferSpreadsheet

The ObjectType acOutputServerView is only available in ADP-Projects. You need to either link the view to your Access database as a table or create a local query replicating the view. Then use the ObjectType acOutputTable or acOutputQuery.

Thanks Phil, I did find that I need to link my views located in SQL Server
