2) Create a macro to copy the names of all players, their teams and the number of goals they've scored into a new Excel spreadsheet.  Use the hints below as a guide:
  • Create a query to list each player name, his team and his goal tally.
  • Create a variable to represent Excel, say XL.
  • To create a workbook use: XL.Workbooks.Add
  • To put a value in the current cell use: XL.ActiveCell =
  • To move the current cell down one row use: XL.ActiveCell.Offset(1,0).Select
  • To put a value in a cell one column to the right of the current cell use: XL.ActiveCell.Offset(0,1) =

Thank you for showing an interest in this Access Visual Basic training course! As mentioned above, full answers to this and other exercises are provided on the course. On all Wise Owl scheduled courses delegates can take away these model answers (together with their own efforts!) on a free USB stick.
