hello everybody,
I need a code to export data from Ms-access database to Ms-Excel sheet using VB.NET
Thank you in advance:)

With this Code you can write a DataTable into a excel-document:

it works very fine for me.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Data;

namespace Rainbird.Examples.SpreadsheetML
{
        public static void ExportDataTableToWorksheet(DataTable dataSource, string fileName)
        {

            XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(fileName, Encoding.UTF8);

            writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;

            writer.WriteStartDocument();

            // <?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>
            writer.WriteProcessingInstruction("mso-application", "progid=\"Excel.Sheet\"");

            // <Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet >"
            writer.WriteStartElement("Workbook", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet");

  
            writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "o", null, "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office");
            writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "x", null, "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel");
            writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "ss", null, "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet");
