Hi - We have a requirement to export data from access table to .xls sheet where the source table has more than 75000 records but we are able to export only 65000 records(Copied the code snippet below)

Do we have any option to get export all 75000 + records to .XLS sheet?

If you are using a .xls file then you are hitting the limit on the number of rows that can exist in a single worksheet within Excel.

You have a few options:

1. If possible upgrade your Excel installation to the latest version that uses .xlsx format

2. Split the data export to spread the results across two (or more) worksheets

3. Output as a CSV file - note you still won't be able to open it in older version of Excel

Quote:
Excel 2003 supports a maximum of 65,536 rows per worksheet
