    Export from Access

    I have an MS Access file with 220,000 entries. I want to export this to Excel but only 65000 entries are being exported.
    How can I export all the data and not loose anything - even if I have to export to several excel files.

    Office 2007 - Excel enhancements

    The Excel app in Office 2007 now supports 1 million rows & 16,000 columns per spreadsheet! You'll need it to do what you want...

    Hope this helps!

    Instead of spending money to solve this problem, you have two options with Excel 2003 and earlier:

    Option 1. Open your Access table, select the first 65000 records (no reason to push it to 65535), copy and paste into Sheet1 in an Excel workbook. Then go back and select records 65001 - 130000 and repeat until all records are copied. With 220000 records, that should fit on 4 sheets. This should take under 5 minutes and save you hundreds of dollars.

    Option 2: Create queries in Access (nothing extravagant) that splits your data into groups of less than 65,000 records. You can then either export those queries to Excel sheets/workbooks, or using Excel, Import the data from those queries (Data > Import External Data > Import Data). This should take under 10 minutes and also save you hundreds of dollars.

    Last Option: Spend hundreds of dollars and upgrade to Office 2007. (Not recommended unless you need to do these tasks *very* often.)
